This week, Toby and I got a late start as we headed into the Foot Hills State Forest. I decided to take a few trails that I've never been on. It was fun pushing the limits of the rig. I had so many awesome video opportunities, however, every time I stopped to put up the camera I would end up blocking the trail, making myself a hazzard for passersbys on ATVs. Being a one man show isn't always easy when trying to record. I think it would be a blast to explore these trails on a weekday. The weekends definitely bring out the crowds. The good news is most people in the forest were only trail riding, so I was able to find an empty remote campsite tucked in the trees surrounded by rolling hills.
It was a quiet remote campsite. The sounds of crows during the day and owls at night were the only signs of life. Supper was excellent, but the night came so quickly and I didn't feel like eating at 11, so I packed it up for leftovers.
My mind started to play tricks on me later that night. As I was walking down the camper steps to sit by the fire I heard a low growling voice say "Hay...Hay!" I was taken back for a second before realizing the sound was coming from my stomach. I guess my brain didn't want to eat the prok chops as much as my stomach did.
As I walked towards the fire I could hear a deer in the woods. It made that sneezing sound deer make when they become alarmed. Unfortunately by the time I pressed record the deer was gone. That's when the sounds of the empty forest became amplified. Every acorn drop, every shrue scampering across the forest floor, sounded like a herd of elephants about to crash into my campsite. It's truly funny how our brain can play tricks on us. All the sound could be explained with rational explanations, but I was still on edge.
That's when i decided to take a walk down the forest trail. I get joy out of pushing myself out of my comfort zone. In the back of my mind, I knew walking down that trail at midnight was safer than walking through most walmarts at 6 pm. But there's something about walking through a forest at midnight that makes you feel alive.
If you stick around for the entire video, you heard the news about Mandi, her son Conner, and me moving in together. I'm super excited about the next chapter in our lives. It was nice to have supper ready for her Sunday night when she got home from work. She said the porkchops in the mushroom sauce was excellent.
Thanks for following along on the adventure. Toby and I will see you again next week.
