A few weeks ago we took a trip out to Oregon, Washington and the Hood Canal. It was a very relaxing trip with lots of great scenery. And if you're into hiking, camping, nature, etc. it would be like Mecca. This photo was taken moments before the end (and sadly just after the beginning) of the nature portion of our trip. I was already searching the forest floor for snakes and large bugs, when abruptly, Denver uttered the only phrase that I really can't hear while in the wilderness."WHAT IS THAT!?!?!"
He says this in a low, hushed, yet panicky tone, all the while grabbing at my hoodie.
The 'that' he refers to is just a log in the trail, but from 25 yards and from the combination of my anti-outdoors state of mind and Denver's slight panic, it was definitely BigFoot or a cougar.
Whatever it was, I was done.
The rest of the trek back to the car was uneventful, save for a bratwurst sized slug.
And that was how we spent our 15 minutes of nature in the Pacific Northwest.
