We were on a school paid camping trip to lake Del Valle. My friend and I decided we rather do something fun instead of sitting around listening to girls talk about $500 purses and whatnot lol. So here's what I ended up planning and doing:
3:30 PM - mountain biking around the lake (we only had enough time to get 25 miles in out of 50)
5:30 PM - swim in the lake
7:00 PM - help the girls set up camp and eat
9:00 PM - night hike in the forest
10:30 PM - sneak into the lake and go swimming again to cool off
11:15 PM - eat
1:00 AM - sleep
One kick-ass camping trip I'll say. The trouble came on the night hike. We snuck off into the forest and despite warnings of mountain lions and rattlesnakes, we went anyway. I was carrying a machete around in case of trouble which made me look like a serial killer lol. Towards the end, getting out of the forest and coming back to the bridge, my "power-of-the-sun" bicycle headlight illuminated a police patrol car hidden in the trail about 50 feet in front. I was like "crap!" and turned off my headlight hoping he didn't see us. Next thing you know I have a mag light pointed at my face and a voice telling us to identify ourselves. To see if this cop's legit I turned my headlight back on which blinded him. He yelled something back at me and I thought he told me to drop my weapon. I was like, "relax, i'm dropping my machete so don't shoot." Turns out he was just asking me to turn off the light! LOL. Then he asks us to state our business and I explain we're night hikers taking so-and-so trails and that we were heading back to our campground. He was cool about it and let us leave. I think he was more spooked than we were and I wonder if he actually saw what I was carrying lol. Anyway, he was called to assist in the arrest of some drunk dude in a truck on the bridge. We got under the bridge and snuck under to go swimming. Hey at least I wasn't dealing drugs HAHA.
