Sleeping on a metal tower during a lightning storm, not a good idea

Posted in John's Musings by john

I learned about the Sonoran desert’s ability to change its mood suddenly while I spent the night on one of my photography towers, awaiting the morning light. I was awakened by an approaching lightning storm. It occurred to me that being on top of a metal tower was not the right place to be at that time.  I quickly climbed off the tower and tried to find my way back to my truck, which was about a mile away. I got hopelessly lost and wandered around the desert the rest of the night, in the dark, doing my best to avoid cacti and rattlesnakes. When the sun rose, I got my bearings, and finally found my truck.
