My friends and me enjoy doing rather random things, as you will learn as this blog progresses. One such random thing we did came to be one night around 8 at night because we were bored and had nothing to do. We were maybe 14 o 15. It was around summer time i believe and my best friend cam and me decided to climb Mt. Mahagony. Its at the enterance to AF canyon on the right side. So we grabbed a couple other buddies of ours, road our bikes up there in the dark, ditched our bikes in some bushes and started climbing.
It was a pretty fun hike, well for what we could see with our head lamps. The trail follows the cliff legde and its a good fall as you got higher and higher on the trail, so we were for the most part carefull haha, the first fun thing we came across, was a rattlesnake that was coiled up on the side of the trail, we didnt want to wake it so we just walked on by as I poked it with a stick. It woke up attacked the stick, me and the other guys giggled and we continued on. We got to the top of what we thought was the trail about 2 hours o so later, and decided to make this our place for the night. We pulled out our sleeping bags set them up drank some water and fell asleep.
We woke up the next morning and decided to look around. Well we were pretty happy that we had stopped where we did because about 5 feet away from us was were the trail stopped. And by stopped I mean there was a good 200 foot fall down the side to a nice and rocky bottom. So we were happy about our choice of place to sleep. We didnt bring much food and we had eaten most of it, so we decided to run down the face so we could get home and get food. We started cruizen down the trail when I put on the brakes and stopped. Cam was in front of me and had jumped over what he thought was a stick in the trail, which actually was a 6 ft rattler streching out for some morning rays. Normal people would of just let it go past but nah we dont do that, so we all tried to catch it! It went under a rock, we almost had it once but we decided to let it go. We went down a different way then we came up just so we cold see what was around there, we found no trail, but it was still fun going through trees, finding a cave where a mountain lion was staying and found someones mag light they had left for us to find. It was a way fun spur of the moment trip! And those kinds of trips have always been my favorite.
beautiful. haha!
