Day 6 – 2014-05-25, Sunday – Camp Clearfork, AR

No riding today, yesterday kicked my ass …

But we have some excitement today! The amazing part is that no alcohol was involved, and it happened pretty early in the morning. Ok, a picture is worth a thousand words, so here are a few thousand word-equivalents:

1 - Truck1

2 - Truck 2

Yes, that’s someone’s truck in the lake! He wasn’t thinking, got in a hurry, left it in neutral while he went to ask someone something, and it started to roll, rolled down the hill, and straight into the lake! Missed several trees on the way down, pretty amazing …

Here’s more:

4 - Talking to Tommy's pal

That’s the owner on the right talking to two of the wrecker driver’s assistants (or maybe just a couple of friends who wanted to see what kind of stupid shit these city slickers had got into!), being told “yeah, we’ll pull it out, but we’re not going in the water to hook you up – you gotta do that!”. So here he is, doing just that:

5 - Hooking upHere’s the truck, almost out:

6 - Almost out

And here he is, trying to get the fish out:

7 - Drain it

Ok, ok, there were no fish, but that sounded good!

And here it is, going off to town:

8 - Going to town

And someone has already immortalized it:

3 - Truck Painting

But it’s ok, it’s not like we gave him a lot of grief over it … HA HA HA HA HA!!!! “So, how do you feel about it? Are you kind of NEUTRAL?”, or “Are you getting a sinking feeling yet?”, or “What’s your theme song? How about Splish, Splash, I was taking a bath?”. Yeah, he caught a LOT of grief.

BUT – the upside? He now has THE BEST Clearfork story EVER, even beating out the one about the time the guy brought the prostitute into camp for the night … yeah, I threw them both out as soon as I found out about that!

So … great Sunday! Tomorrow it’s over – oh, well.
