The springs of ginnie

September 17th, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized

You wouldn’t believe me if I told you all the events of past days.

For years I have wanted to return to Ginnie Springs and be out of mind. Finally my chance comes and my best boy Mike D came to join.

I load up the inflatable matress that has been my bed for many days and swallow my peanutbutter sandwhich. We rush to the water but in my rush I forget my underwater camera! No worries. I lie on my back over the river and look at trees and the sky pass me. The feeling is close to the pureness of self being. Then as we continue to float
Grey fils the sky. Then as a group we feel the wave of coldness hit us. I look up at what could only be out of a movie. Dark as the void, a low flying cloud approches with the speed of a movie spaceship. The winds pick up and Dan in full hollar uses his upright body as a sail to go back upstream. I can’t stop laughing until I hear the thunder, which is really the sound of trees cracking and then crashing in the river. I get concerned for the people on the shore. The excitment of being in a terrible storm on the river is only stopped by the extream cold. I grab Meagan and Erin and we head to shore like elephants. The wind is so strong that the paddle is no easy one. When we finally reach shore I look back. Erin let go of Meagan! Mike D runs back to rescue her and bring her back while Erin and I dodge falling trees, and it happens, Erin gets hit and goes down. She gets up with a large swollen bloody area on her arm. I hold my inflatable matress over all of us for cover and we make it to the nearest pavillian. I see frogs on the ground everywhere. No one else can see them. Then like the joy that is my life, the happy car pulls up. Filled with happy smoke, snacks and laughter. I jump in and deflate my matress. Mina catches a glimps at the inards of the car and begs to join the car vs the car of sadness and bad vibes. The blackhole car. We leave to swim in a pool and find out it was not the worst thing forgetting my camera since it was leaking a pinch.
