Hella-Big Rocks

Tuesday, May 24th, 2005 | Uncategorized

So I decided today would be a good day to go to Devil’s Lake. I haven’t been there in awhile and I do actually have a state parks pass this year! I didn’t have anybody to go with, but I still enjoy going and free climbing the rocks.

Well apparantly I picked a super hard path today. I mean DAMN, normally it goes from large rocks, to small rocks, to cliffs, to trail. Well the path I choose went from Large rocks, to small rocks, to cliffs, to more large rocks, to more cliffs, to trail.

Wowza was I tired, I mean I haven’t exactly been excersizing much this year, but after this whatever I do will seem easy. I was really tired at the top so I just sat up enjoying the view across the water for awhile and then I started down the trail to go back to my car.

However for some reason I decided to go down the rocks instead of the trail since they were a more direct path back to my car. Figured down is easy, but when all of your muscles are to their limit it is pretty damn hard to go down the rocks, a couple times I slipped and lunged forward, lucky enough to have a big rock in front of me break my fall ; ) I finally get to the bottom and it’s just 2 more rocks and then trail right..

Well apparantly one of those 2 rocks had a big hole under it that was covered by a ton of leaves, it’s probably some animal’s house, after all I did see a big racoon earlier. Well my leg went down the hole to just past my knee, and was a big scraped up when I pulled it back out, but at least it was still attached to me when I pulled it back!

After that I needed to go to the gas station to get some liquid and then I went back via the ferry, it’s a bit longer not taking the interstate but there are lots of places to just fly over hills and around corners which is good for my low to the ground car.

Damn that was exausting, but at least I have a hottub to go home to!
