What an absolute wreck of a weekend.
I go up to my cabin every second week about... I see my girlfriend the weeks I dont go.
This week, she decided to come with me. What an adventure.
We started off the car ride with an argument, but that was the least exciting thing that happened! When I got to the country side, we were following a car, the man slowed down and pulled a U turn right in the middle of the road, I almost took him out. I stopped a few inches away from his car. he acted like nothing happened and continued to turn around, whatever.
We get to the cottage, walk to the cabin, she helps me with a few things here and there. She asks me to take a picture of her infront of the cabin, I agree and back up a few feet to snap a pic. Little did I know a wasp nest is in the tree right beside me. I passed there thousands of times and never had an issue, didn't even know there was a nest there... At this point, I got swarmed. Probably stung 10 times in the neck and the ears, arms etc...
I get back to he cottage and try to relax all while in pain. I get stung every year but never this much. I fall asleep and wake up the next day. Now at this point im convinced nothing can happen to me. WRONG! I finish working on my cabin, probably stayed around 2-3 hours. Im walking back, and I here a noise, im in a swamp and about 30 feet infront of me is a mountain. What's the noise you might ask? A BEAR! Never saw it, but I heard it and it was close, sounded like it was calling the cubs to run. At this point, my pack basket is off and remington 1858 .36 cal in hand.
I pull the trigger and click. I scream to scare off the bear, crank the hammer back, and BOOM. It goes off.
What I didn't know is that my dad was walking in the mountain looking at the bear this whole time...
5 minutes more and I would of had a bear at the cabin coming at me... What a weekend...
