Four-wheeling in the-middle-of-nowhere….so we thought….we come across this white truck with this guy camped; it’s Ed with his beloved Luv truck. We are out for a day exploring areas where we fully expect to see no one…but no, there’s Ed. Who the heck would be camped in this region? It’s in the-middle-of-nowhere! And why?
We stop and say hello and Ed does the same. What a friendly guy! As we talk we discover he is a geologist and we have common acquaintances. Ed’s a grad student mapping Arch Mountain, a region north of Hoover Dam; no small task. Ed has been camping and mapping for varied lengths of time, this time was for a week or two. That length of time doesn’t allow for cold beer, and Ed loves to have a beer! So of course we enjoy a few together. As we talk we feel that we have met such an incredible person….hey, we need to get to know this guy better…as we did, for many years.
Our conversation during that first meeting with Ed was one we will remember forever as we will, of course, never forget Ed. Our wonderful friend Ed.
We love you and miss you Ed.
Love Terri and R.J.
