I have to admit that when I first started walking out this wash; I was =
think that this wasn't very fun. The brush was thick and overgrown due =
to recent rains.
Then all of a sudden, I heard a loud breaking of branches and =
thunderous footfalls in front of me. It sounded like a Rhinoceros was =
coming right at me. I quickly looked around and picked up a medium sized =
rock in the hopes that I could strike a blow David and Goliath style =
before being impaled by the monster's snout. As soon as I lifted my =
meager weapon above my head the noise stopped. Now I figured that I not =
only had an armored animal coming after me, but one that was smart =
enough to know when he was threatened and now he was being tactical. I =
inched slowly forward, thinking that There was no way I was going to let =
some African animal that didn't even belong out here get in my way of my =
yet unfound treasure. After about three steps, I heard a faint brushing =
of leaves to my left. I looked over and less than ten feet from me was a =
good- sized deer. I frantically but silently waved my hands at the =
innocent animal in the hopes of encouraging her to run away and be save! =
d from the horned beast that was still hiding somewhere near-by. My =
plan succeeded, and as the sweet doe ran away, she made a noise equal to =
that of my menacing predator. With the stone still above my head, in a =
pitiful attempt to keep my armed foe at bay, I started walking forward =
again. After about 100 feet, I decided that I would have enough time to =
raise my weapon if I heard the noise again and lowered my stone and =
listened. After hearing nothing for a few seconds, I continued on my =
quest, with stone in hand, to find what I was after.=20
Soon after I was safe from that Life-changing event, I realized that =
this was going to be a really nice hike after all. The Canyon opened up =
and the walls rose above me. Absolutely beautiful. Tiny frogs bounced =
all around my feet. A few snakes slithered around the tadpole filled =
ponds.=20
When my GPSr told me to start heading out of the wash, I was thick in =
the brush. I hopped up on a rock to see my best option. That is when I =
saw the Geo-Trail (a trail that has absolutely no purpose to anybody =
except a Geocacher.)
After looking for about 30 minutes I finally found the Cache and took =
a much needed rest.
I was so worn out after that hike, that I did not want to hike back =
out. It was so beautiful, that I actually thought about camping there =
for the night. I may have, if I wasn't afraid of the Wild Rhinos.
Thanks for the adventure of my life
Night Hunter
