GenXTalkin - On Being Prepared
STORYTIME: A Trip To The Desert Caverns GXT-STORY-EP04
GXT-STORY-EP04 Desert Caverns
Our story today deals with good college buddies Tommy, John, Jason and their girlfriends Jenny, Casi, and Kiersa. These fine American youth just got through their junior year at Shamon U in NEW YORK CITY! They have the opportunity – time, space, and money-wise – and they’ve chosen to travel to the famous Desert Caverns of northern New Mexico (A FICTIONAL NATIONAL MONUMENT intended to seem a lot like Carlsbad Caverns)
[In reality, part of this scenario strongly resembles something I experienced with friends while hiking in the western US.]
They plan their flights and pack their bags. Figuring they are going to the hot desert they all mostly pack shorts and short sleeve tops and shirts. Figuring they might do a bit of hiking on some trails, they take small back packs with pockets for a water bottle.
The group arrived in Albuquerque, NM and rented a car to drive to the Desert Caverns – a three-and-a-half-hour drive.
The townsfolk are friendly with tourists. And at the local greasy spoon called Stop and Puke, they got advice on where to park, where to hike, where to camp, and where to go for the best views.

Would you be prepared? Are you prepared?
Choosing to be more prepared every day is a skill. One that should be honed. Focusing on growing just a little everyday will allow us all to be prepared to respond well and recover faster.
I’d love to hear your thoughts and comments about prepping, so please reach out and share as you can.
Until next time… this is monk signing off… better be prepared
