trippy weekend with the boy

beer, I want beer
So I'm having my annual two week allotment with the youngun, and we took a trip to a local canyon/state park I like to go hiking in. Looks down over some awesome canyon scenery and waterfalls, and you can watch the hawks and turkey vultures soar around looking for fish etc, only from above. Very surreal. We hiked all over the joint, driving the car at random thru the park (it's about 15 miles long or so) and parking at various pulloffs to take nice long hikes along the trails, many of which are vestiges of the old indian days.

When we got tired at one spot we turned back and got into the car then as we pulled out to the main road we saw cops beginning to block off a side road leading into the trail area we had just been on. They were blocking the entry itself, and one car was pulled off to the side, but it didn't look like any real action was going on so we tried to guess what happened, deerstrike, drunken barbecue fight, or maybe somebody fell off the edge.

Turns out, a couple other hikers had just found a body of some woman who'd gone missing a week or so, having run off into the underbrush in her car. Probably a couple hundred yards from where we stopped and turned back.

Creepy, huh? Just goes to show, you go poking around in the woods you never know WHAT you'll find...

/Note to self : Go poking around in the woods alot more.

I saw a half a cat a couple of days ago. Not the same thing I know. The ants seemed pretty pleased with it though.
 
He was okay with it. Neither of us knew what happened at the time, and he was in bed by the time I saw the story on the news that night. By the time I told him the next day he'd mostly forgotten the cop cars.
 
Today was another great vacation memory for an entirely different reason. We went down to the zoo to spend the afternoon, and we were watching the tiger pace in his cage and play with his chew toys. He was clearly in an active and agitated state, so we watched for a minute. Suddenly, he whips his ass to the fence and sprays tiger stank all over the crowd of gawkers next to us. Frigging hilarious! It was like he was saying, "Yeah, I know there's a fence, but I'm marking you anyway. I ever get outta here and your ass belongs to ME!"

Only bad part was I had been taking some phone video only a minute before of the tiger playing, but the battery was low so I stopped. Youtube stardom flushed again! I coulda gone viral! Guess I gotta stick with the original plan and let the kid swing a wiffle bat into my nuts...

Some of the most amazing shit rattling around in my head was picked up poking around in the woods and other places alone. I kid you not.

Too bad the cat wasn't digested already. I found a perfectly preserved fox skeleton in the woods last year stripped and bleached but untouched, so I collected it and brought it home for the kids to play with. The fiancee got pissed, but what do girls know any way? Kids need to have hands on knowledge of some shit, not just pictures...I still have the bones, I keep meaning to put them back together when I get tired of arguing with people on the internet...

I know right? I think I might be a little past stop. People argue with me even when I don't say a word. I think that's a bad sign.
