cool as shit camping trip =)

So, I just got back from a short geology trip with my school, a preperation for a longer trip we take this summer. i had been worried about bringing weed, as it's supposed to be a taboo item, but i brought it anyways. I was going to type up the days too, but I got thruogh two days ans realized it is not even a little interesting to those who don't like rocks. So here are our nights:

day 1: we are supposed to stay somewhere in Georgia, but we get a phone call that says the campground washed away or something. It's wet dark and miserably cold, so the professor springs for a hotel room. Go him! i still didn't know anyone on the trip except for my professors (who are in another room) so i have a couple drinks and runoutside for a quick smoke. no interuptions, nice buzz. we watch kingpin which was fucking hillarious.

day 2: we get to where we are going and realize we are in a dry county (just what kind of idiots do shit like this anyways!?!) and have to stay at a campground where alcohol is prohibited. Everyone looked like they were drinking coffee that night (100 proof coffee! =P) I snuck off to smoke down by the bathroom and met some cool folks from across the campground who happened to live like two miles from me -cool as shit! went back to the fire, told bad jokes and generally had a good time. got to really like a few of the kids on the trip.

day 3: we got done like super early this day, so we were all excited and awaiting a good long night of partying. Unfortunately, the first campground we find says no alcohol AND no fires, so we keep looking. The next one is full (apparently very near bristol where there was a race last weekend) and we finally find a place who will let us in late that night. she overcharges us to the max, but it was a place to stay. i was getting tired of driving and drank three of those delicious jack daniels watermelon punches in about 10 minutes. I drank three more over the course of the hour, and moved on to my Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper and whiskey (ahhh, breakfast of champions.) Someone traded me cigarettes for beer,so i drank a couple beers. i hate beer, but it didn't seem to bother me that night. at this point, there are very few people awake, it's down to people i think are pretty cool. so when one of them comes over and asks me if they can bum a clove, i tell him i'vce got cloves and i've got weed, and its his pick. he looks at me kind of funny and laughs, so i figure he thinks i'm joking, and i give him a cigarette, and sit back down. like five minutes later i hear a whisper in my ear 'did you say you smoke weed?' and i laugh and agree. there are like 6 people around the fire, and the fucker pulls out a nice little glass pipe and proceeds to load, giving me first hit. i pull out mine and get it sent around, and we are all comfortably stoned and i am TOTALLY psyched because i finally got to smoke with people instead of sneaking off. we are all sitting around bullshitting when someone notices something behind us, and w4e all turn around and see a skunk going RIGHT THROUGH our fucking campsite. we are all trying so hard not to move or crack up, it was great. we finally all stumble off to bed (and i didn't puke! usually, if i drink more than a couple drinks, and smoke at the same time, i'm sick as all hell. i was just fine, though, and comfortably toasted till i fell asleep. i did run into trouble sometime in the middle of the night when i couldn't find my nalgene, though, i thought i was going to swallow my toungue. still, best nite of the trip

day 4: was our last night, sadly. It was the night of some important basketball game, so we went out to a smokeybones for dinner. Good food, but they werebusy as hell and the service SUCKED. She was nice enough though. I ordered my first alcoholic beverage in public, a half margarita half daquiri chick drink, then a big glasss of killians red. only beer i'll drink, that. we decided to go to a campsite i'd been to a year before (i've got a freaking GREAT story about thatplace, which I'll post if anyone cares) and we got there late, but were already halfway to drunk when we got there. I was doing a beer taste test, and drank a 40 of ynglng(?) that wasn't bad, but not all that good either. we'd been there like 5 minutes (i decided to sleep outside instead of taking out the tent, so i didn't have to do anything, and i volunteered to show this guy where the bathrooms were. we got a few hits in on the way there, and a few on the way back, and went and checked out the lake, and got back just asthe fire got going. i was up until like 3 AM talking star trek (yes, i'm a geek) with this one chick (not a smoker, but a great girl anyways) I smoked my bat like two or three times through that night, and then went off to bed. i slept like a dead baby rock, it was a nice night out.

The next day we had to go home. I totally, completely didn't want to, but we didn't have a lot of choice. Got the AIM names of some of the folks who were on the trip, so we should keep in touch before the next trip (6 weeks next time, baby!) I think we're gonna get a group buy together, so should be a great experience all around. I love school!

 

that you did, man - thanks for all the good advice. i was actually surprised to find so many tokers, but it was a decidedly pleasant surprise. i am looking back now and realized that i wasn't nearly as discreet as i planned to be, but it all worked out. i remember one of my professors asked me what i was smoking, and i was like 'its just a clove, i'm not going to break ALL the rules, at least not when you are standing there.'
