A great desert book; this play focuses on the crash & survival bit.

Thanks to Z for passing this on.

Thanks for the heads up. Shall stick the kettle on for that.

Ed Abbey
 

Chris....Given your long standing involvement with all things 'desert' you are probably aware of Ed Abbey and his classic book, Desert Solitaire.

If you aren't, give some thought to trying to pick up a copy. It's a great read about the many highlights of the southwest deserts around Moab Utah!

May bring back memories!

Yes, some PCVs put me onto Edward Abbey in Mauritania one time and I read 2 or three of them. Also great books and an especially amazing area.

I see they may be making a movie of Monkey Wrench Gang - that would be something - you hope.
