So as you might know from the previous blog, while at Hocking Hills this past weekend i took an unplanned, unwanted fall towards certain doom... well not really certain doom, more like cold feet, possibly hypothermia at worst... We were all at Old Man's Cave doing some hiking... as with the rest of the spots we hiked, the walkways were mostly ice... we were just crossing a particularly bad spot with some large melting ice blocks overhead so i turned to make sure that Mike and Emma got past this bad spot... well i looked down and i was standing on a downhill slope on solid ice... suddenyl my feet slipped out from underneith and i started the downhill descent towards an icy river...which i might add, after a lot of rain the night before was moving a lot faster than i wanted it to be... so i slid right off the walkway onto an even steeper hill covered in loose soil... well Man VS. Nature being one of my favorite shows, i knew to dig my feet in and grab at some soil... well it turned out that i got stopped about 3 to 4 feet from the river and turned around to see all of the slightly worried looks on my friends' faces... they said the look on my face was one of complete terror... so i climbed back up the hill and continued on with some mud on my jeans... so that was probably my scariest moment of the trip... it added to it though... now i and my friends have this awesome, funny story to tell... and every time i think of it i laugh out loud... LOL... I had a picture that i wanted to put up with this post but it won't let me...sorry.
