I learned my lesson when I couldn't get into a campsite in Washington State peninsula. I began driving around and found an old road littered with appliances and other forms of garbage. Darkness was approaching fast, and I didn't have time to be choosy, so I found a spot and crawled in the canopy of my pickup. Three hours later I awoke to the sounds of a megaphone and looked up to see a double-barreled shotgun pointing at me. The old road was being staked out by local police who were trying to nab the culprit littering the road. Unfortunately I was the victim of mistaken identity, but it was an experience I don't wish to repeat. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Jul 06 2000 - 15:58:23 PDT
