FLX – Night 2

27.Sep.2007

You thought I was done with those spiders. I’m not. As creepy as it was not trying to run into those things during the day, we had to head out again and complete a shorter land nav course. At night. Four man teams. One flashlight. One red lens.

You know how hard it is to spot those suckers with a red lens? Let’s just say there were a lot of heeby jeeby dances that night. We had to constantly play rock, paper, scissors to see who would take point with the flashlight and a stick. A VERY LARGE STICK!

WigginsThis is Wiggins, our class photographer, after he had run into too many webs. In the end it wasn’t even the spiders that got us. It would be the branch someone in front of you pushed out of the way and then let go of. Murphy’s law would dictate that said branch ALWAYS whack you right in the face. I guess there was a reason they made us wear the eye protection.
