6. helicopter, no less!

have I told the story of the riding group last October?
lady fell off her horse in the area on our road between the two wooden bridges, and since this was a well organized group they had a nurse with them, she wanted the lady to be checked out. so they called an ambulance.
well, apparently nobody teaches manual evacuation anymore and they were also afraid to drive across that first wooden bridge (that can actually be driven around) - they wouldn't come get her. so they called search and rescue and got a helicopter for her. did it take her to the hospital in Benson? no. Tucson? no. they lifted her to the corner of our road and Dragoon Road. less than 1/4 mile. loaded her in to the regular road ambulance and off to Tucson. heard she was back that night for the after-ride party.
