HI I was trying to get a hold of you…I have a few ?’s regaurding the challenger program. I have been trying to research it a little because my husband tells me stories about this camp all the time. He was a survivor of it as well. Thanks for your time and take care.

I don’t know if I would have been able to kill a snake that fast, but you do what you have to to survive. I can’t wait for the next post!

I know Marc was in Germany for the annual Frankfurt bookfest last month, where all the agents and editors go, but he’s probably back now…e-mail me if you haven’t heard from him, and I’ll try to see if he’s around. The publishing world gets slow sometimes. Your book would do fabulous, and help a lot of people.

Hi Alli,
I found your site through the NaBloPoMo randomizer and was immediately hooked! I’ve just completed reading everything here and am anxiously awaiting more. I hope everything is going well with you and your kids and your husband and well, life. Your story is an amazing one and one that people should hear. I hope you’re finding some peace.

Ally,

Great post! When you kill something for survival, it is quite normal to feel like that! That must have been relief! I hope to see another post soon.

I just finished reading your entire postings, I originally was looking for information for my essay but I ended up unable to stop reading all of the postings.

I am just shocked, I am sorry for every minute you had to live in those circumstances.

I didn’t realize that I hadn’t checked your site for about a month, and WOW, two posts!

I hope your nightmares go away. Thanks for sharing your story.

I’m a bit of a snake fan but I understand the situation you were in, you did what you had to. I would have got bitten probably, I’d not have had the foresight to do what you did.

I blogged just yesterday about a guy from my hometown who said to his family that he thought he got bit by a snake while gardening, but he’d visit the doctor tomorrow. Well tomorrow came, he was dead. Just shows you what some guys will do to avoid a doctor visit, no?

I’m just trying to visit as many of the NaBloPoMo blogs as I can and I thought I’d say hi, I liked your blog..

Cindi - I can’t believe I didn’t get bit either.

Caren - OH HOLY! Where have you been girlfriend? I haven’t talked to Marc since May, but I’ve been calling him over the last few weeks. Crazy! If you can get ahold of him, tell him to email me. I’ll email you my new phone number.

Ren - You’d be surprised what you can do when you’re dumped in the desert.

New post yay! Checking everyday does pay off.

Anyway - damn talk about survival instincts! I would have died out there had I been in your shoes.

It’s crazy that they left you out there at all.

Being from NJ, I know nothing about rattlesnakes. It’s all very interesting.

I hope you plan to do a book still, and I hope you still keep in contact with Mark. This is a great story, and besides adults loving it, teens will eat it up too!!!

You had a whole lot more peace of mind than I would ever think of having in that situation. Of course I would be the one with the snake bite.
