The day before yesterday, I had resolved that the next day I would go to collect 'stones of silence' from the river near my house. On the day I went to collect them, as soon as I left the house, it began to rain, but I still went in search of the stones. After finding enough for my left hand, the idea of taking a dive into the river, despite the cold and the rain, started to seem not that bad. This sensation stayed with me until I had moved away from the river. Heading back home, I was reminded of when Castaneda had to test the datura roots and Don Juan said that the rain was a bad omen. As a result, I felt I had to return the stones to where I had taken them from, and it seemed quite urgent. After I had left them where I found them, I burst out laughing, thinking I was crazy and how easily I could be influenced, but I left them there anyway😂

"the next day" there's your problem haha
Thx for the advice 🙏
I sure hope there weren't any mountains feeding that river!
Flash floods are deadly. Just check out the river and see if there are large rounded boulders.
When you see those, don't even go near a little river or stream, when rain is possible.
That's field Anthropologist wisdom. I grew up around them.
Another is, never go park in Death Valley anywhere near the time of the summer heat. Some say, don't even drive through that area, in case your car breaks down.
You can easily die in 2 hours.
That seems to be what "The Blue Scout" did.
