Rescue insurance is a unique, modern day invention. While previous generations of explorers set off in to the wilderness with the knowledge that a medical emergency or injury may be life ending, today we have the ability to seek rescue with the push of a button on a satellite communication […]
I awoke with a familiar delirium. Knowing what was to come, 4 AM could not arrive soon enough. But it still took me a few moments to wipe the cobwebs from my brain. Yes, I realized, I was still at Jurassic Lake. No, this was not a dream. I pulled […]
