travels with Dave,(.)
Dave told me that we have (had)
Oriole (Oriole cookies? Is that a Baltimore thing or is it Oreo?) cookies in the air and watched us fight for them; dehydrated food has(had) that effect. Notice I didn't say freeze(-)dried like the(y) use(d)
all the horses are (were) old

See! I am even affraid to spell Dad Haddardy's name because of that guy! I forgot to look that up, but will make the necessary changes. The next chapter is hardcore and I want to immediately post the one after at the same time. I got bogged down with work this week. I thank you so much for your compliments and this review. Mike
Comment from Judian James
This was a very exciting chapter Mike with an excellent and positive ending paragraph. I do have one thing to point out to you that I think you should be aware of:
"Once cannot adequately describe the majesty of seeing a sunrise at that altitude. The colors and their effects were absolutely incredible. I found this view incredible and also an unidentifiable, lone plant that has an incredibly shaped fluorescent hot pink flower. It became a symbol for me" In this one paragraph, you used "incredible" three times ... that's two times too many and diminishes everything you were trying to convey with a bit of over-kill. Otherwise, great write.

I guess that I found the word to describe evertyhing. LOL I go back and figure out a way to fix it. I thought the altitude affected me as the sky turned green, I piddling around on Utube, there is a phenomena called a green flash. The second time I was on the mountain, my crew had to jump me to prevent me from walking off of it. I didn't realize that I had climbed the mountain.
Jude, I thank you very much for you compliments and this review, also the suggested correction too. Mike
Comment from John_Carrick
I'm a little confused by this chapter. I don't know who the main character is or what the story is about, if there is a story. It sounds, more than anything, like someone reminiscing about camping. Like real life, nothing happpens

It seems that I am taking a pasting with this chapter and it is unfortunate that I couldn't just post it like a book and release it. I don't review many books myself as I find it best to go back and at least get a sense of, what the material is about and if I place a tag in front, then I will be downgraded for that as well. Nothing happens is merely an opinion on this chapter and this one is one of the more imoprtant experiences in this book. Sorry you feel the way that you do. Mike

COLOURS AND CREAMS IN MOTHER NATURE!
I liked this part of the non-fiction.
I enjoyed the flow of thoughts in dimensions, organised structure of thoughtful message, good coverage of points of view, tits-bits, diversities in eventful-adventurous-fantastic-educative courses of living, flavour-mode-mix-colour of fiction wrapping, organised expressiveness, logical sequential presentation, soft-biographical viewpoints in language cream, interesting-catchy introduction, curious-interesting-adventurous ending.
It was a pleasant adventurous confident read.

The last two chapters have been hard to organized because thing occur more like a hand grende flash, yet like the real thing, each fragment is important. I thank you for your review. Mike

Excellent adventure.
I thoroughly love the way this story played out.
The characters were well developed and the pace was exceptional.
The dialogue was great and carried the story forward.
Thanks for sharing your work.

Comment from Kashif Ali Abbas
A well written piece of work with clarity of expression and teasing theme of something about to happen any time. The only issue I have is the " too common" style of writing and if writing style is improved, this may become more appreciable.
The last line was also not powerful enough,
"..and sowed the seeds to desire to get as much adventure in my life as I can" [ A revision is better ]

Hate to say it, it is a realistic style and with writing, I do the best that I can. I am self taught, though not going to college, yet believing in continuing education. Having to work got in the way.
The last line is actually a lead in to the next chapter. I do thank you for taking a look at this.
