My
Excellent Hiking Adventure |
We were in the middle of nowhere when we realized that were
completely lost. Luckily, the three of us had already finished the two cases of beer we
brought along -- it made Tricia's load much lighter. After a couple of hours of wandering
around, we realized that the only way to a main road was up a steep mountainside. I made it up first. |
Phil was next. About halfway up he started to run out of gas. When he looked the weakest, I yelled down to him, "Go, go, go! Fight, fight, fight! You a weak-knee'd, lily-livered, sissy-girl. Get your ass up here!" |
I guess my encouragement worked, because he eventually got to the point where I was able to climb down part-way and drag him to the top -- saving his life. |
Tricia, exhausted, was too thirsty to go on. We tried to convince her
to try -- we called her names like, "girlie-girl," "pansy," and
"long-haired freak." But nothing we tried worked. She just could not do it; she
couldn't make the climb that would save her. Boy, I miss her. |
