Good Wednesday, my Peeps! It is time for this week’s episode of Friday Fictioneers. I looked at this pic and many ideas floated around but none truly tickled me fancy. So I asked my buddy Marc, over at Sorryless, his thoughts on this pic and he said, “Lotta ways to go with that one.” and I responded with “Gimme an idea or three”. He responded: “You got your Native American angle, of course. In which you go all Rochelle and add some history to the story. You got your Eagles (the band) angle”. Oooooh. I was sold. Thank you, Marc! And, of course, thank you to Rochelle for hosting this weekly party. And thank you to Renee Heath for the use of her pretty picture.

I Wanna Sleep With You in the Desert Tonight
“Whaddaya say, Carol, wanna spend the night in the desert? You, me, a fire, the stars…”
“And whatever other beasties creep and crawl out there, just waiting to eat us up..”
“Nothing to worry about. I’ll protect you. Plus, I’ll bring a nice sturdy tent for when we wanna, yanno, go inside.” He smiled and wiggled his eyebrows.
Laughing, “Protect me? Mr. Daryl, aka Bear Grylls? Where did this crazy idea come from, anyway?”
“Don’t you think it would be romantic?”
“I do like the idea of the stars, you and me… What inspired you?”
“That song by “The Eagles”…
A Dalectable Life 
Sounds like she’s being won over to me! I share her caution about the bugs though – Bear Grylls or not, he can’t keep those away. Lovely Dale

As to the bugs. If they are smart and they close up the tent… 😉
Glad you enjoyed, Lynn.

I don’t know, with all the creepy crawlies and the sand, this doesn’t sound all that romantic to me LOL.

Great story Dale. Of course, I happen to love camping. My Annual trek to Sturgis, South Dakota, is a week of camping and is my “annual mental health retreat week”. I haven’t camped in the dessert yet. Of course, the Eagles are one of my favorite bands. Good job.

I know, right? My intentions on my solo 8,700 mile coast to coast Harley trip 5 yeats ago was to camp in the dessert in the Southwest part of the trip. As it turned out, it was entirely too hot.
