Saving the day. . .

That was Lucy's role the other day when a couple of guests walked down to the waterfall and couldn't quite make it back due to fatigue and injuries.

Of course, we always tell the folks that it's about 2 miles down and 2 miles back to get to the waterfall. Some people pay attention, others don't. This was the first fatigue-related trip we had made down there. About six months ago, we had to head down when someone twisted an ankle heading back up.

This time it was just one lady who had a bad back and got tuckered out heading back to her tree house. Luckily, there are covered benches along the way, and she took refuge there while her brother-in-law hiked back to the office to ask for a ride.

I lost the coin flip, so Lucy got to take the ATV back down there to get the lady and her sister. It's a great walk/ride, and Lucy had them back in about 20 minutes.

The only anxious moments of the episode came when Bejuca darted off into the jungle chasing after something. Lucy dropped the guests off at their tree house and came back searching for Bejuca--who had returned to the house a few minutes earlier and slurped up most of her water dish--and a few doggie treats.
