RT: Now, the funniest part was, see now like I went to Poston, Arizona. And you know, Salinas is a cool place. When the weather hit 80 degrees, we were burning up already. And the day we got to Parker, Arizona, 114 degrees. And later on, as I thought about all this that happened the day we got there, people were fainting like flies, because none of us prepared for any of this. And you'd think they'd come out and give us salt pills? We weren't even talked to about using salt. And if it wasn't for the fact that some of the people that got there earlier than us found out that you gotta take a lotta salt, because you sweat like hell. And there's, all you got is a barrack, and it's hot as hell in the barracks. So we were very fortunate, because of the fact our train was the last one to leave Salinas. Well, by the time we got to Poston, every, a lotta, half of the people already settled in. So they come out to meet us when we got there on the bus. And they were the ones that gave us salt pills, and told us, "You gotta take a lotta salt," because we don't know nothin' about those things. They say, "Yeah, we found out, you gotta take a lotta salt, because when you sweat so much, you gotta have salt."
