While you lame-os were out at slash x I decided to drive to Borrego since it was a lot closer and i didn't want to make a long trip since i was sick an all. Well we went to Coyote Canyon me driving of course since i got my permit and all. Saw Zebra tails, iguanas, and whiptails.
I didn't feel like going all the way up since we were by ourselves so we left and went to Calcite mine. Defiantly to hot and dry for those special lizards but we looked anyway with no luck. On the drive back we see a group of hiker. They come up to us and ask if one of the women in the group can get a ride back because she was very dehydrated. She looked really bad and we obviously said yes. She and her friend got into our truck and we took them to there car at the trail head.
But oh no this is when it happens. On the drive back she faints from heat exhaustion in our truck after we had passed a ranger. Turns out she has high blood pressure and has a very high pulse. Well we got her to the trail head. Luckily we see the ranger coming back. Turns out he had turned around. We had been giving her water and put ice water in a towel and rapped it around her neck. Luckily she regained consciousness and started drinking a little and mumbling words. The ranger called for help.
Turns out she is doing badly and they are going to chopper her out because of her condition. So he radios for a helicopter to come and pick her up. Highway Patrol blocks the road.
And the chopper lands in the middle of the two lane highway. Very exciting!!!!! The paramedics take her away and tell us if we hadn't done anything she would have died in ten minutes. TEN MINUTES!!! How bout that. We saved the woman’s life.
On another note saw some really cool Jeeps on that trail along with two Humvees and a bunch of land rovers.
But the cool thing we this guy sitting right next to out truck while the hilo landed.
After all the excitement we went and ate and went back to Coyote Canyon. Im sorry for the bad pics. Put my camera on a bad sitting without realizing it.
