So sometimes I like to make them squirm just to know that you don't have to tiptoe around me." Own Hectic Pace They describe their life in the desert, a good half hour's drive beyond Palmdale, as having its own kind of hectic pace. Neither one can tolerate life in the city, although Ron grew up in the San Fernando Valley and still commutes every day to his automotive machine shop in Chatsworth, which is an hour and a half drive each way. Cindy grew up in Lake Arrowhead and moved to the desert years ago, before she met Ron. When they married 2½ years ago they decided to settle here. At night there are a lot more lights on the horizon than there used to be, evidence of encroaching civilization, but the Dunlops still cherish their secluded ranch life. There are two horses and a pony, chickens, pigs and a steer. (Sadly, their dog Cruiser was killed by a car a week after the rescue). Weekends are spent making improvements on the house, seeing friends and going camping. "This place keeps you hopping," Ron said. "There are the animals, and then something is always breaking down." Today, the Dunlops will be joining with relatives for a traditional Thanksgiving celebration. Life hasn't changed, and the Dunlops don't want it or expect it to. Still, the accident has left them with a quiet pride and satisfaction in knowing that tragedy was averted and a normal family life was kept normal. "I don't know if I learned anything from this," Cindy said, "except that I always thought I could do something like that, but I had never been put in the situation. Now I know I can. I just hope that if I can help one other person in a wheelchair know that they can do something and not let people tell them they can't, then it's worth it for me to do an interview. A lot of times the doctor would say to me I couldn't ride an ATC (all-terrain cycle) or a horse, that I'd hurt my back. But I do it anyway. He told me not to have a baby. You just have to have the will to do it, and believe that it's going to come out all right. You have to believe in yourself." Win a glorious 9-day Sitmar cruise to the sunny Mexican Riviera!
