LMAO, Naw, u want a great campin story, aint no one can beat this one with a Stick.
When i was just a Young RhynoShark, my family went campin, we were out near the woods, and this place had Picinic Tables, and we were makin the Bisquet biscuts, and gettin ready to eat dinner, and we had a family of Racoons come up to our picinic Table, and they stole one Biscut, then another one, came up, on the table, and stole another Biscut, i think one even stole one right outta my hands. well, a short time past, my mom set down the Batter for the biscuts, and ill be darned if one of them sneaky little racoons didnt come hop up on the table, and stole the bowl, and the spoon!!!!! i swear, we never found that bowl or spoon, or them pesky racoons again
lol
I will be back with my story.... im an outdoorsy girl.. i got stories... some i cant tell for fugitive reasons other i cant tell for fear of embarassment. I will find one with nuetral ground and tell ya THAT ONE!!
Well I have one. It still scared me for life and don't do much camping anymore. I was invited by my friends to attend a camping bday party. I grew up living in the sticks, so everyday was like a camping experiance for me. So I decided to go. Everything was good, all drinking a little, putting up tents, playing the ouija board.... It was from Parker brothers... so how scarry could that be right...?? So I played for the first time in my life. Not ever really believing any of it... But ok were kids at the time... Sure why not. So of course I thought someone was always just moving the thing to make it answer. Well it started to get stormy.. And we decided to pack up and go sleep in my friends bait shop and cook some pizza's , eat the snacks up and all that... After we did all that and were ready to go to sleep.. All of a sudden the radio started blasting............ When we got up to turn it off. We realized it was not even plugged in..... NOR did it have ANY batteries in it what so ever.... So I know there is something out there... There is absolutly no other explanation for it. Sure I am nuts. NO I don't hear voices.. Ok only one time.. But that was just my name.. lmao.. But I had about 10 other people there with me.. And no we were not all out on a pass from the nut ward.. tee hee. What really topped it off was the next day a guy was found in the same area we were camping at that shot and killed himself....
True Story!!!
They're just sooo cute, Rhyno!
We tried to cook some tater tots over the fire (with our proudly caught fish). Unfortunately we forgot to bring any cooking oil. Oh well, the hashbrowns were decent! But that's not the best part.
I somehow talked my dad into climbing down the 15-20 foot damn and along the stream. Ignoring ALL the signs that said not to. He almost twisted his ankle several times. And, although the view was AWESOME in a couple of spots. The clear signs of hunting in the area (dead deer and a few bullet holes in trees) finally allowed my father to persuade me to turn around.
Moral of the story: never trust me in the woods. I'll either have to carry you out or leave you for dead!
Now, ask me about the camping trip in February in the mountains in New Mexico. I think one of my testicles is still frozen.
WITH LIKE 40 FRIENDS .IT WAS A RIVER RAFTING WEEKEND FILLED WITH FIREWORKS , GRILLED FOOD,AND LOTS OF ALCOHOL! EVERYONE WAS HAVING A BLAST. I WAS DRINKING LIKE NO TOMORROW, WHEN SUDDENLY................
YUUP ! BLACKOUT !!! NOOOOOOOOOO !!!
WELL NEXT THING I KNOW, I WAKE UP AND I WAS HUNG OVER SO BAD. I FELT LIKE I GOT MY ACE WHOOPED ! APPARENTLY I DISRUPTED EVERY CAMPER AND WAS LUCKY TO HAVE NOT GOT US ALL KICKED OUT FROM
THE SITE. EVERYONE WAS IGNORING ME AND MY COUSIN WAS REALLY PISSED ! I WAS GETTING THE PICTURE AFTER 3 PEOPLE WOULD NOT EVEN LOOK OR TALK TO ME .
SO I HAD TO KNOW WHAT I FREAKING DID THE NIGHT BEFORE . I WENT TO MY COUSIN AND ASKED WHAT'S GOING ON-HE PROCEEDS TO TELL ME ( WE WERE SHARING A TENT ) THAT I WOKE HIM UP SUDDENLY
WITH MY PISS, YEAH I WAS PISSING ON MY COUSIN , LOL HELL NAWWW!!!
I WAS LOUD , YELLING ,DRINKING,DANCING AND FALLING OFF THE PICNIC TABLES . NEVER AGAIN ! THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS TO THE YOUNG AND DUMB (THAT WAS17 YEARS AGO,LOL)
Starting out on the trip to the campsite we got lost on dirt road miles from anything that would be reckognizable. So of course we ended up with a flat tire on that road. It took time to fix the flat and find our way back on the right path. Atleast 3 hours added to the journey. So we finally arrived at the campsite. First thing we did was set up to eat as we were starving.
My younger brother was around 7 and he was seated at the head of the table which was set on uneven ground so he ended up spilling his milk and managing to sop all of our sandwhiches that were in the middle of the table. My mom is a waste not want not type of woman having grown up on a farm and she made us eat them LOL.
So next we set up our tent by the time that was done it was growing dark so we soon were off to sleep. We woke in the morning and headed off to rent a motor boat to take down the river to fish. We were in the water no more than 30 minutes before it began storming. I mean big hail type of storm.
Yes the worst you could imagine happened the motor quit. Not able to get it started again my father frantically tried to get us to shore and out of the hail. During this he lost an oar. Some 15 minutes trying with one oar to get us to shore he lost other one!
We managed thru fate to drift with the current to the shore and were happy to see a very large shed with a cover for us. The only problem was it was filled with cattle. My younger brother leaps into action running around chasing all the cattle out UNTIL he runs into the bull! Now this bull was not too happpy about being chased out into the rain and hail. So off and on he and the cattle would make their charge back to take what was theirs. It was so funny. LOL
At this time my father decides to walk back to where the boat was rented. Now we had drifted quite a ways during our non oar stage so he had quite a treck. After some time its stops raining and along comes a motorboat to rescue us. Happy to see that let me tell you!
We arrived back at our tent to find that we had forgotten to tie down the window flaps so there was standing water inside the tent. All of the sleeping bags and everything was drenched. My father went off the the laundry matt in the nearest town to dry things at best he could. We had planned on staying for nearly a week there but we spent that last night there and left in the morning.
On the trip back it was not nearly as bad as we did not get lost but yes we did end up getting one more flat tire LOL but this time we didnt have a spare because it was the prior flat tire. Off my father goes accepting a ride from a helpful stranger to get the flat fixed. He comes back and we make our way home.
It was the most memorable camping trip of my life and I have had plenty of them.
Thats my story and I am sticking to it. By the way I later used this story for a speech in class when school started it earned me my only A in speech LOL
If u see one of these, run, it may be all cute and cuddly and such, but they are all evil Masterminds, RUN if u see one, lol
