Book Project

While nosing around the campground, we found a covered patio with rickety bookshelves overflowing with hundreds of dusty paperbacks that had been left by other campers. Ahah... a project for us! We spent a couple of hours organizing the shelves and putting the books in alphabetical order by author. We also stocked up on our own reading material for the rest of our time in Baja.
Donna was moving a stack of books when ZING - she was stung by a pale yellow scorpion. We didn't know how venomous the Mexican scorpions are, so someone ran to find Doc and ask him if we should be concerned. In the meantime, I ran to my rig and got an icepack that I tied to her hand with a scarf. Abraham came by and said the sting is less harmful than a bee sting and her hand should feel normal within 4 hours.
