I would like to say I
went on an adventure today, but that doesn’t sound right. Technically everyday
is an adventure. You either learn something new or do something new. I guess I
could say I went hiking, but that doesn’t sound that exciting. So I went on an
adventure today.

See I have a friend |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We started off at a park in our town and then went to this
railroad bridge. I had been to this railroad bridge before, but had never gone
further down the tracks. Our plan was to follow the tracks and see where they
led.

Being the person that I am we had our little picnic right
away (I love food and I hadn’t eaten lunch). The picnic consisted of me eating
my sandwich and then eating all the fortune cookie my friend brought as left
overs from her graduation party. After eating we began to follow the railroad
track. Which is when we made our first awesome discovery.

The deer we saw |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My friend noticed the deer crossing the railroad tack. It
was one of those surreal moments that for whatever reason just took your breath
away. Then left us both scrambling for our cameras.

Long road ahead |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We kept following the tracks with me tripping along. I have
no grace or balance, so every little rut and ditch is a new opportunity for me
to trip. Eventually the tracks lead us to a somewhat busy road, so we turned back
a little and followed a utility road (I think that is what you would call it).

Beautiful view |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We followed this path along this gorgeous view. Walking
between two lush green fields with all these plushy white cotton clouds
floating around in the sky. Even with the sun beating down on our heads
everything felt perfect. We then came to the end of the utility road, which
meet up with a street.

Hitch hiking |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We then backtracked to the railroad bridge. Feeling
satisfied that we had accomplished something (even though it was just a walk).
We walked back on the train track listening to Neon Indiana, Porcelain Raft, Gorillaz,
and other awesome bands ( courtesy of my friends iPhone).
|
Love notes |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When we arrived at the bridge to leave we found some burnt
love note. It looked like someone had tried to burn a notebook and had
obviously failed, hence us being able to find some of the still slightly intact
pages. With that interesting find we went back to the park to go our separate
ways. I don’t know about my friend, but I left thinking about the next
adventure.
