Ok I promise my last post about Cactus Rose. I swear you would think after 25+ miles we all pop pills or something. I have a lot more of “Stupid Trail Talk” but here are a few of my favorite ones from CR. * A sign that said “Tarantula Crossing.” Me to some Random Runner – “Whatever! Joe’s just trying to freak us out! He likes to terrorize his runners.” * Me - “You know if it jumps on me, I’ll wet my pants right here.” Random Runner - “We’ll pee together.” Me – “I think hes smiling at me.” Random Run – “Cool.” We were watching and photographing a big ole Tarantula. Around Mile 27-29. * Me - “Where’s my cooter!” trying to say “Where is my Cooler.” And Around mile 36 me - “Powder! I need my Powder. its in a baggie! Get me my Powder!” –trying to ask my crew for Roctane Mix. * Me - “Oh Sh*t!” – Ben “Oh no, we have a bunch more “Oh Sh*t’s coming up. We are about to hit one Big “Oh-sh*t” around corner on “Ice Cream Hill.” Around Mile 31. * Me - “What does that sign say?” Random Runner- “Welcome to Ice Cream Hill.” Me – “That can’t be!?! Ben said we already did Ice Cream Hill! Are you sure you are reading that right?” Random Runner –“Well you’re reading the same sign I’m reading. Are you? You read it!” Me - “Welcome to Ice Cream Hill!?!” Random Runner – “I think this might be Ice Cream Hill?” Me – “but I don’t wont any Ice Cream Hill!” around mile 38. * Me – “WooHoo! My butt just got lucky!” Keith – “I’m not for sure what you are trying to tell me here!” I had busted my butt on Luckys Peak Hill. *Me –– “WTH was that! A bear?!? Random runner – “No, I think it was bird! NO! I think it was Two REALLY Big Birds.” It was two wild turkey’s that shot across the trail in front of us. We didn’t have our flashlights on yet. Around mile 46. * Me to Random Runner “Did you see that! I.Just. Peed! I haven’t peed in 42 miles. It was A REAL Restroom!” Random Runner – “WOW! WHERE?” Me - “right back there about 100 yards! It EVEN had a Sink with REAL running water AND a Real toilet that flushed! I was in there so long that the Park Ranger came and checked on me!” – Random Runner – “WOW! Dang It! I can’t believe I missed that.” Me – “You Really Should go back it check it out! It was Unbelievable. I even washed my face, neck and hands in there!” Random Runner – “Darn, maybe we’ll see another up a head.” - I was so excited I shared this with any runner who would talked to me from miles 42-44.
