Circus World #1



The original Ramp of Death, (Rampo Del Morte)! Resulted in more dead and wounded than a Mexican Revolution!
Just starting the ground sit-up on this young male I named "Major" after the elephant my Dad had worked at Hall's place.

My ramp story...
The very first morning I began working at CW, my duties included cleaning Turk's (Benny's horse)stall and Nirvana's (leopard)cage. Not a lot of shit compared to the 19 elephants the guys were tending to. I kept an eye on the guys going up and down the ramp, knowing my turn would eventually come. As I was wheeling to the ramp one of the crew offered to take the wheelbarrow up the ramp for me. I appreciated the gesture, but thought that I needed to be a BIG GIRL and do it myself. Knowing that ALL eyes were on me, I rolled up, dumped and rolled back without a hitch! As time went on, and the wheelbarrows filled from the daily routine I remembered to take a few small loads instead of one big one. I never did have a "ramp incident" but I did witness a few!
