trip gone bad

[rubicon]

The mind can certainly play strange tricks on a persons body. I will always remember my first day inside the coal mine. I thought there was no oxygen and had trouble breathing at first. I was just freaking on being straight down under ground then back five miles and knowing if something happened I would have to barricade myself in there. 18 years later when the mine closed I really missed going under ground. you have to pick your charter boat captains and fishing party members wisely and then you still never know? Many years ago I planned a one week fishing trip to ontario ( me and five other guys) at the last minute all but one backed out but we went anyway. I had no fishig equip at that time and was to use the other guys. We took my truck. had a cabin and boat rented. First full day there I caught the first pike and it was a nice one. well the guy got pissed cause i caught first fish and didnt want me using his pole any more so I sat in the boat most of the day enjoying the scenery. Next day started out the same way so I went to shore and did some exploring. Third morning I started packing and the guy spoke the first words he had said in two days. What you doing? I said Im heading home and if you are riding with me you have 15 mins. I drove 18 hours only stopping for gas and pulled up in front of his house and threw his gear in front yard. We worked side by side for five years after that and never spoke. Found out the other guys backed out because they knew him. We went back (that is all of us but one) the annually the next seven years and had a great time
