Excursion #4
Camping in Dansville, Stony Brook and fishing!
last weekend a group of 9 of us went camping out in Dansville (aka hicktown) on our friend Jerry's land. He has acres and acres and acres of land, perfect for setting up tents, beer drinking and bonfires. It was a gorgeous, clear, star-filled night.
Clear, star-filled night = perfect for star tripping!
What is star tripping? Well, allow me to explain. No, it does not involve any type of drugs (don't worry moma bear)... just a starry sky, a flashlight, friends willing to get really dizzy, make a fool of themselves and possibly a few grass stains. Lucky for me I have plenty of friends willing to be goofs and embarrass themselves for pure entertainment :)
How to star trip:
1. pick one star, focus on it
2. stare at your star and spin in circles for 30 seconds (a difficult task, so this is where your friends come into play, have them hold you up and help you spin)
3. after 30 seconds is up have someone shine the flashlight in your eyes
4. try your absolute hardest to stay on your feet... bet you can't do it!! ;)
5. fall on your behind and usually laugh until you are seconds away from wetting yourself
After a night of games, laughs and stories we headed to Stony Brook State Park the next day. I wish one of us had our camera but no one trusted themselves on the slippery paths along the waterfalls :/ Oh well, it was a perfect day and loads of fun. The rest of the day included heading back to Jerry's, the boys cooking burgers on the grill and some fishing!!!
I finally got to cross 'go fishing and catch something' off of my bucket list!!
