After Blissful punctures her sleeping pad, she meets a trail angel who manifests her own magic and gets her replacement
In this episode:
- It's an extraordinary night on the edge of a ridge in the Four Peaks Wilderness with wind like a jet engine in the towering pine above her tent.
- After gorgeous streams, the trail meets a road, dull and long.
- A trail heads steeply down on rocks into a canyon along Boulder Creek where the frogs sing a chorus.
- Blissful makes the mistake of camping on what looks like luxurious grass, but turns out to have sharp points that cut into her mattress.
- It's a short, but circuitous, walk up and over the canyon towards the road where she quickly catches a hitch to Payson, where Margaret just happens to be at the right place at the right time to snag her a new mattress.
MUSIC: Poema del Pastor Coya by Angel Lasala and Pastorale Calchaqui by Hector Gallac as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, piano
