Good Morning, Everyone…🧋I’LL DRINK TO THAT!🧋
🎶 HIGH AND DRY.. well, I’m up here with no warning…🎶…”High And Dry” – The Rolling Stones 1966 https://tinyurl.com/2uyp7vyp
🧋The air up there is FILMY, ‘bout that there’s no DEBATE,
We see that there’s no GROUCH here, these men are all top-rate
They have their water HANDY…they’ve packed a good supply…
Precaution necessary not to be LEFT HIGH AND DRY…🧋
The Gobi Desert… https://tinyurl.com/mr24r78d …for what it’s DIRT…
So…Today…Two explorers, be they paleontologists, geologists, or archaeologists…you get my GIST…with their guide. And with the mention of “Desert” (=DRY) and “Elevation” (=HIGH) in our question, and “Water” (=DRY) and “Precaution” (=being LEFT) the subject of our dialogue…this one solved itself…The Gobi isn’t a place to get…LEFT HIGH AND DRY… https://tinyurl.com/yf4n9uxz …And we definitely weren’t today…There was no way we’d allow such an easy, breezy one TERRAIN on our parade…
Jeff’s💎Gems? The two men at front with their water vessels, and the one at back, loading jugs into the jeep…The guide’s tent…SAND of course…the camel…
So…There you have it, Folks, Done. Have a good one. Be well, be kind, stay safe…And I’ll leave you with some desert humor…Where do desert nomads buy their camels?…CAMELOT…🧋🙋🏻♀️
…AND OUT OF THE ARCHIVES…The puzzle of November 13th, 2019…JEYNO! 🙋🏻♀️🔠 https://tinyurl.com/yf8asfh3
🪟 They were LEFT HIGH AND DRY when nothing came in HANDY trying to DEBATE the neighborhood GROUCH and his use of way too FILMY curtains…🪟
🗣️The materials were FILMY, of that ‘twas no DEBATE,
And one GROUCH in particular was throwing ‘round his weight
They’d never come in HANDY, so why should people buy…
The grouch protested loudly…”We’ll be LEFT HIGH AND DRY”! 🗣️

Today is NATIONAL DAIQUIRI DAY!…Oh, yes please! 🍹🙋🏻♀️ https://tinyurl.com/tccmae83
🤷🏻♂️The faint of heart need not apply,
‘‘Tis not for your average guy…
These treks take a toll,
Not a leisurely stroll…
It’s hardly the old by and by…🤷🏻♂️
💪🏻Steadfastness is definitely key,
There’s no place here for the old ennui…
It’s stamina first,
And of course the thirst…
Treks like this bring some to their knees…💪🏻
👨🏻🔬 The reason to visit are vast,
Some study and some for a blast…
Whatever the cause,
One definitely should pause.
And be sure that they’re going to last…👨🏻🔬
⬆️ Preparation must strictly be had,
It’s not something akin to a tad…
The heights are insane,
And to deal the terrain….
One must want it,..not just as a fad…⬆️
👍🏻 So our men who we see here today,
Packed…ready to get on their way…
With their water in tow,
There’s the guide to bestow…
That they’ll keep any problems at bay…👍🏻
HIGH looked like a possible part of the solution, but I needed unscrambled words to finish off the puzzle. Didn’t know the Gobi was that high !! CAMELOT was fun. Thanks for posting, Angela. Terry
YW, Terry…And thank you.🧋🙋🏻♀️
Good morning. I wasn’t quite sure about the anagram Filmy but I went with it. The clue of elevations over 4,000 feet led me to the word high in the final solution and I had it from there. Thank you for your post Angela. Have a great Saturday. Stan
YW, Stan…and thank you….and I agree, Filmy seems like an odd word. 🧋🙋🏻♀️
Good morning. Like Stan I had Filmy right away but didn’t think it was correct and after not coming up with anything else I checked to realize I had it right. The cartoon answer had me stumped for maybe five minutes when I put everything together ie; elevation and plenty of water to come up with the blind solve. Putting all the letters down confirmed it. Until tomorrow take care.
Good Afternoon, Paul. Yes, Filmy had one of the Early Birds shaking his head, too. Take care, 🧋🙋🏻♀️
