City Folk Should NOT Go Into The Woods - NO EXCEPTIONS!!

Ok, so in order to understand WHY those pesky little city people should not go to the woods I should start at the very beginning of the story.

Shortly after getting off of work yesterday (around 5ish) I got a call from my buddy Roy. He wants to go out to the woods and build a camp fire.

Now, I'm a Prineville girl, so I have a redneck inside of me. I'm more comfortable in the great outdoors. For fun us Prinvillians go out to the woods, and light things on fire. Usually there is beer involved, but not this time. So I say yes, I would love to go.

Come 8 we go to my other friend Eric's house, where everyone is meeting. We all pile into the 2 trucks and leave for the middle of nowhere.

While on one of the hunting roads, in the woods, we come across a guy. When we stop he says he had been walking for 2 hours, and that his truck is stuck in some snow a ways up. There are also 2 girls out in the snow. We agree to go up and see what we can do.

Well, the other truck instead of going LEFT with us, goes to the RIGHT. This is where the problems begin. As we are driving up, we meet the 2 girls on the side of the road. They had built a fire to try and keep warm. (good old Prinvillians).

Well, after getting them loaded up, we try and go further up the road, but instead, the truck decides to hit a rough patch of ice, and slide all the way back into a ditch. Now we are stuck, and the other truck is no where to be found.

We spent at least an hour and 30 minutes out there with an ax and hatchet, chopping away at ice and digging out snow, joking the whole time to keep optimistic and over-all in a good mood. We are, BTW on a big ass hill, about half way up.

Apparently the camp grounds we were heading for were closed, so the other truck came in our direction. They couldn't make it up the hill, so they were at the bottom. After we were gone for a while, Eric, Roy and Eric's girlfriend (I apologize for not remembering her name at this time) start hiking up the hill to find us. They are yelling "MARCO" all the way up. When they are about 50 yards from us, we hear them. When they get up there, everyone evaluates the situation and gets to work, still joking to keep up moral.

We yell down the hill a few times, that were stuck, that we are trying to get out, that everyone is ok, we also shine the flashlight in case they cant hear us.
After about another hour we talk about walking back down, and deciding our next move from there. One of the girls who had been stranded out in the snow ALSO had worn flip flops and lost them. We put gloves on her feet ^_^

So, we are hiking down, and when we find everyone else, the not so good mood starts. MY boss (Freddy) and Roy's girlfriend (RG) are obviously city people.

When RG sees us she starts freaking out! Yelling at Roy that he had better not have some bitch on his arm etc etc. I run down to them, hoping to get there first to try and calm her down. There is no calming down RG, she is a city person in the woods, panic is all she can do. And her panic is that sometime during trying to hack away at ice around the truck, that he had time somehow MAGICALLY to cheat on her with ALL of us there too.

So, I'm already pissed off at her, for panicking, which is that last mother fucking thing you ever want to do in the woods, because that is how BAD things happen.
I hear Freddy yelling too. Yet another city person. And he is just even worse than RG.

Yelling about how it was stupid to help someone stuck in the middle of nowhere, how he thought we had all died (oh please city boy), and about how they shouldn't have been out here, and that we should just leave them. Then.. without letting us say anything... he says "Are you coming or staying. Cause we are leaving now with or without you". You have NOOOO idea how much I wanted to hit my boss right then and there. Saying that we never yelled down the hill, we didn't do anything to let them know what was going on, etc etc.

Now, we still had a ways to reach the other truck, and the whole way down I had Roy and RG fighting behind me, and Freddy freaking out in front of me.

When we get back into town, and everyone is calmed down a little Freddy and RG can now have a somewhat sane conversation (no doubt the sight of buildings). But they still think we should have left the guy on the side of the road, and the girls stranded in the snow. Neither of them would have lost a bit of sleep over any of it. I told RG that the reason we stopped and she wouldn't have is because we have a conscious, and we know that if we were in the woods, someone stopping for us would be GREAT.

Anyways.. I learned 2 things that night. Freddy and RG are not good people. Good people do not leave people stranded in the snow. Good people do loose sleep over crap like that. And the second, is that CITY PEOPLE SHOULD STAY THERE ASSES OUT OF OUR COUNTRY FOLKS BACK WOODS!!!
We were calm, collective, knew what needed to be done and did it. We stayed positive, joking and talking. Then those damned city people just had to open there mouths and try to tell us whats what in OUR GOD-DAMNED WOODS!!

Anyways, I'm pretty sure I know who NOT to call if I ever need anything.
That's the end. There isn't anymore. Logan took his dad out to get the truck unstuck. Its daylight now, and with one truck pulling another, it shouldn't take too much.

Blessings to all country folk, (and the city ones who know where not to go)
