As a child, I liked to 'disapear'. I was so good at it, nobody ever noticed I was missing. LOL!

When I was in 'about' 5th grade, I would disapear and explore what we would call out here in Arizona a 'big' River, we called it a creek.

Across the road from our property is where the creek ran by our property. In easy viewing distance was a waterfalls and further downstream was a sinkhole/cavern which nobody seemed to have explored. The land around the sinkhole/cavern was a 'wilderness' that kept people out.

As a boy I like to explore that water way..... even taking off in a canoe.

I never went missing because nobody knew I had 'disappeared.

As an adult, some of my relatives tried finding me because my mother had a heart attack. They couldn't find me.... they had no idea where I was. At that time, I was in the foot hills of the Himalaya having a good time. As for my mother, she recovered.
