I decided it would be a good idea for me to do something different to get my mind off of the week…I took a friend up on an offer and spent the night out in wilderness. The location is somewhere off of Toro Canyon where fire roads exist. The living headquarters are on a dirt road and once you are there, chances of escaping are minimal. On the way there, we passed peacocks and chickens.

There were three main excitements of me being with nature. The first was some kind of drink that had champagne and “live bacteria”. I really tried to drink it…but finally had to pass on it. Things swimming in my drinks really do not do it for me. Second (not so much nature), but I ate these peas out of beans…I forget the name…but the point is I ate something very different from the norm. Now onto the third…this has to be the largest item of the night that I never thought I would do. I used the restroom outside. There is a toilet attached to our headquarters..and it is totally surrounded by nature and trees. I really tried to hold it…but after fighting it for six hours, I gave in. Nature was nice to me and nothing attacked.

I am thankful to still be alive.
