    Wonderhussy is such an enigma that it blows my mind! She has no education in the major fields that she explores-masonry construction techniques, carpentry, engineering, mining, blasting, machinery, geology, automobile history, biology, plant sciences, etc, etc etc! Yet that does not slow her down at all! And we love her all the more for it. We are excited to help her and add in our two cents worth. She rarely shows her expertise in the fields she is an expert at-art, literature, journalism etc, etc, etc. Her indomitable spirit conquers all. Her mercurial personality leaves us all in the dust-we cannot but hope to be carried along in her wake. We stand in awe and salute you Queen Wonderhussy!

    If you're interested in desert cave life, track down a copy of Colin Fletcher's The Man From The Cave. Fletcher discovered one of these places on a desert trek and began investigating; he was fairly sure he had figured out who the occupant was and what happened to him. And if you're wondering what kind of person hides out in the desert, think army deserter.
