Ryn and I went camping at a closed site one snowy winter after getting tatoos.We drove a funny old Beetle up there on the
other side of the mountain.We set up a little tent and opened up a bottle of Southern Comfort and began talking.Mostly about
how our tatoos hurt and why did we pick a little tatoo shack at the Pike? But as the long night worn on we began talking bout
how cold, dark and snowy it was up here on the mountain.The other side of the mountain had no snow.And of course we didn't
bring proper snow p.j.s and the like.It was getting colder.And hey...we were the only ones up here...not a single other soul...shh...did
you hear that?Maybe were not alone...maybe old hatchet man is up here and...shut up!Well,I did hear something!Bigfoot!He'll
eat us in our sleep..or kidnap us...shut up!This is how we passed the night, that and the Southern Comfort.Actually after
the Southern Comfort we weren't really worried so much about hatchet man or Bigfoot.We did hear strange noises on the tent
and near by.But were getting woozy and boozy and fell asleep despite the danger.The next morning we woke up alive and discovered
our tent was covered in snow...that was the noise we had heard..the snow. Funny thing though, there were catlike prints on
top of the tent..hmmm...no clue.We were pretty much snowed in.But dealt with it,the good sports we were.We had fun playing
in the snow and throwing snow balls at each other.Also we hid behind trees and scared each other.We took alot of pictures
that didn't turn out, bummer.When we were ready to go home we found the Beetle was stuck in a ditch!How'd that happen?Who
knows.But out of no where came a car full of friendly happy people who helped unstick the old bug.Together the group of us
lifted the car and put it right.What fun!Then our new friends piled into thier car and led us off the mountain in a fast paced
follow the leader.We made it off the other side of the mountain Alive!Then we stopped at a quaint little cafe and had pancakes.Oh
by the way, the tatoos healed well.Still got em.
Two Silly Drive-thru but true stories.
One day Ryn and I went to the drive up window at the bank to cash her check.It was a windy day, I remember it well.The
teller cashed her check and gave Ryn the cash through the window.As Ryn took hold of it she dropped some of it on the ground
and she had to get out of the car.The next thing I saw was Ryn running and her hands up in the air and I heard her scream.."Help
me1" I called out "What's wrong?" She ran and kept grabbing at something on the ground. She yelled at me "Help me you damn
fool..my money's blowing away!" Well. I couldn't help but laugh at the sight of her chasing her money all over the parking
lot and screaming help me.I got out of the car and started after her and she yelled again"You damn fool...help me..." I again
started laughing , her voice had gone up several octives and sounded like cartoon character. She was running wildly
and stomping on money and looking so funny with her bad haircut blowing up in the wind and her hands waving and calling me
names.People were staring at us like we were a comedy act.I doubled over in a laughing fit and nearly fell over.We caught
her cash and got in the car...cars were honking at us buy this time.As we pulled out and they honked Ryn said"Damn fools!"
We left that drive thru and headed straight for our favorite fast food drive thru. We ordered two large sodas and no food.But
when our order came back it was two great big buckets.We looked at each other puzzeled and Ryn said"Let's get out of here
fast before they notice they gave us two buckets of chicken!" We hurried out of there and around the corner and found a place
to eat our surprize chicken.Yeah..surprize...we discovered what we had was two extra huge sodas ..and no chicken!We were very
disapointed but we had a damn good laugh over.it.Two buckets of chicken...damn fools!
