Princess' adventure...
What a trail!!! How does one lose 5 pounds in one day? Only 5 more to go. I arrived late and must have left the cars somewhere around 4:00 pm by myself. Can't tell you how scared I was by myself going for miles and miles and miles in the woods. Made it to a canal crossing to what looked like two seals playing in the water but I think they were otters. I think we scared each other but they were really cool looking. Can you believe I did not take my shoes off and went right through the canal? Better yet, can you even believe I carried my bike across the wooden pole across the next canal?
Once I passed the check by the nurserys I kept following trail until it turned west again and I was like f*** this. Im going back to the check because I saw it lead out to a road with lots of cars that I was hoping was 441. This was after 2 hours of being on trail. I was walking my bike east at that point and some wierdo stopped and asked if I wanted a ride. Told him I was okay but just a little tired. Got on my bike again but was not feeling too well as I had not had any water for what seemed like hours. I dont think my lips had ever been so parched.
Made it out to 441 but went south which was the wrong way. Kinda had a feeling that it was so I turned around and made it to Hypoluxo. At that point I was really feeling bad. I was calling everyone to find out what direction Lantana was but a nice lady stopped to ask if I was okay and I told her I was lost and trying to find my friends and my car off Lantana. She told me Lantana was the next light up. I told her I was not feeling well and was ready to faint and she said to just stay where I was for a while to rest.
So, I went back to my bike and had the spins and fainted. At that point I came around when my phone rang. Somehow I made it back to the cars but really couldnt ride my bike as the muscles in my legs were cramping so bad. Drank water, ate food, drank beer, drank water, ate food, drank water, and drank beer.
What a life!!! Hope to be able to hare tonight but still not feeling so well.
ON ON
