Crazy Weekend

[jcole60]

Wow, yesterday was SHIT crazy.
OK, so the day started off, me and my family went camping for a day in Costanoa.
Once we got up there,(normally a 1 hour drive but because of the traffic, about 3 hours, LOTS of traffic.) We found a camping spot and settled down. Most of the trip was centered around an air soft war we were going to have later that night.

When we got there I went out to go to the beech(which was about 110 meters away.) where we were planning to have the air soft war. Now after about 20 minutes of exploring, my brother gives me a call and tries to tell me to come home. So I say OK and start heading home. I made a wrong turn and, to my great surprise, was not where I came originally.

I see the campsite in the distance and in my way is a HUMONGOUS expanse of long grass, dead bushes, pricker bushes. and lots of dead and dried branches of long dead trees. Now, I flip a coin to decide whether or not to go ahead and cut through, I rolled a yes.

It was absurd. I make is through most of the short-long grass, about half a meter in length, and get by about 10 meters without a scratch(mind you Im wearing shorts). Then I get to the long grass and pricker bushes and start to worry, I dont want anything to get me when I can't see.

I make it about another 20 meters and stop dead cold. about 5 meters in fornt of me is a Grade-A Buck. HUGE. It stared right in my eyes and waited. assuming I was not a threat it hoped off, about another 20 meters and looked at me again. Once again I stood stock still. After a while it loped off and didn't bother me again, but I was worried as hell.

So I got through another 30 meters of long grass and see some wood, Thinking it was a path or something(pipe dream I know)I go to investigate. I hop over a mini-ditch and find that it wasn't a path at all but a rusty old barb wire fence that I almost cut myself on. Right then I turned back, went to the place were I turned off, went back on the beach and found my way back the way I came.


By the way this is true and is not made up. I was scared shitless the entire time.
