Rainy day yesterday
I was sitting on the deck of my house last night watching the rain, smoking a cigerette, and thinking back to how much i love rain. Me and my friends sheck, skip, and box going camping and how it rained for 5 days during a 7 day trip.
the first night we got there, it was still dark, and we had smoked some before we got to the site, and setting up a tent while high in the dark can be a task.. at one point one of us said hey should we put on some music, and we heard someone say WRONG.. It sounded like Boxy, and he is probably the biggest fan of music I know. We did not put on the tunes, but were being loud and cracking jokes, and just being dudes in a camp site.. well the next moring we noticed like 3 different groups of tents around us, which of course we did not notice in the dark, so we had gone down to the lake, for a swim around noon, when we got back, all the tents were gone.. which was ok with us, and the park ranger had left us a note to go pay him a visit.. well the people complained, and he said not to worry, he would not guide them to where we were, and understood.. of course he stopped by for a toke a few nights.. which helps of course..
Of course we never really thought of it going to rain, and on the 2nd night it did, but for some reason skip had a tarp in his trunk, which was a life saver.. we picked a great spot with a bunch of trees, so it was not soo bad.. and his tarp, which was about 20 X 20 covered most of the site.
now we could not really do that much with all the rain coming out, but we smoked a ton, and drank a bit.. we invented stuff to do. listened to a ton of music, and played some tunes all day and night.. it was just cool being high and running out in the woods, and getting rained on. we did some swimming in the rain, played some foot ball in the rain, and tried to pick up the girl campers too.
when you are sitting in the middle of a forrest campsite, with 3 of your closest buds, smokin, drinkin and just kinda watchin the rain.. it is very just a cool thing in life.. we played a bunch of cards, and invented some card game that really sucked when we were not high.. Euchre, spades, all that stuff was great..
the last day we were there was the best, we had finally got the girls to come hang with us, and do some swimming, which was awsome, and years later Sheck is still married to the girl he met on that camping trip.. I lasted about 2 weeks, boxy had no luck with the girl, and skip lasted all of that day..
to this day I will sit in the rain and laugh about that trip, and why i like rain.. smoking with buds is always a great way to bond..
peace and smiles.
