A lot of people like to plan something big to commemorate their 40th birthday.

Pat Dysart decided to go for a walk. Across Australia. With 15 camels and a bunch of people she'd never met before.

You have to answer a couple of survey questions, but this is a good article. Pat spoke at our Republican Women's group last week & the reporter came to hear the story & then interviewed her.

I don’t think so...

No I don't. See? Moving on. :-)

Sorry, that was for Twotone.

Answering two questions is such a big deal?

Your loss as the tale of this gal’s walk across Australia is quite fun. One of her camels became fixated on a yellow scarf she brought & had to have it tied around his neck every day. Her favorite camel lay down after one day’s walk & she decided to give it shiatsu massage along its neck. Every day after that it would deliberately lie down close to her & then give her a side-long look to let her know she could do it again if she wanted. Lots of other interesting stories. But, oh well...
