Adventure!

so a couple days ago...i spot this run down water tower and factory near my apartments...i ask shawn about it and he's game to check it out...class gets cxl'd and so we have the perfect excuse...we parked up at the leasing office and walked down macon hwy to the place...turns out its boarded up with barbed wire and no trespassing signs...so we skirt around the perimeter...we find the oconee river and fall it north...on the way...we found some funky spiders...one had this elaborate abdomen painting that would scare the crap outta some bird...we even jumped over the gate of some boarded off ESA site...anyway...we couldn't find a way across the river...so we headed back...

then we started going west around the factory...at one point we found a place where the river formed a sort of lagoon...frogs started jumping in the river kamikaze style as they saw us approach...we were getting a pretty good view of the factory...but still couldn't get inside...we thought to keep going - actually shawn did - i just sort of nodded...at this point i was feeling a bit apprehensive...i was only wearing shorts and we were about to go trudging through some thick plants and crap...at one point i had to jump over this stream...it wasn't dangerous but i didn't want to get my shoes wet...anyway...made it just fine...we finally found this old dam...it was pretty cool...there was river silt at the bottom...we went down there...then we had a hallmark moment as we found flat stones that we skipped across the river...haha...shawn found a crawfish...his manly attempt to spear it with a twig failed though...

we kept following the river down until we came back around and under the highway...at this point i wanted to get back cuz i was being eaten alive by mosquitoes...i still have welts...after making a few lizards scurry out of our way...we finally made it back up...we did do a pinky swear at the end that we would ultimately trespass and go explore that factory....
