[quote:Anonymous Coward 2206799:MV8xNzM3MDUxXzI4NzkwODc4XzNFRTAxMjc2] I have a few stories, as i have led an active outdoor life. First story, In florida where im from i used to go over to my cousin's house on the weekends.He had alot of woods behind his house,and about a 1/4 mile out there was these 3 ponds.At 1 end of it,it was really deep and had this grey clay all around it.On the opposite side it was only about 3 ft or so.We used to go there all the time,trying to see who could dive down and touch the bottom of the deep end."Who ever could bring up a handful of sand/clay would win".So we did this for over the course of a month every weekend.It was me,my brother,and my 2 cousins. So 1 day we were there swimming as we always did.So we were like f it lets go play on the shallow end of the pool,"after we were in the hole for about 30 mins fing around".So were swimming and we make it to the other side and we turn around to look across the pond.To our suprise we started seeing these bubbles coming up out of the hole we were just in.Then all the sudden a gator surfaced a full grown 12ft or so gator.Scared the shit out of us because we had been fing arounD that area for weeks...lmao lets just say we stayed away from that area.

I got a special wilderness permit to go into an area in the mountains in CA where they hadn't allowed foot traffic in, in twenty years. There were no trails. It was myself and two other Marines and we did it in exchange for seeing if there was a rare kind of trout in the streams up there. I guess the forest service didn't have anyone who wanted to do it. I'm not sure I was set up with this by a friend. Anyway we hiked for two days with no trails using just a map and compass and on the second day we walked around this huge cliff to find a full on cabin with a lawn and solar power and washer and dryer the whole nine yards all built into the rock face of the cliff. You couldn't see it from above so it had gone unoticed for years. We talked to the guy that lived there and he said we were the first people he had seen hike in, in 14 years. He was a retired helicopter pilot and he had flown all the equipment in by helo. He was squatting on federal land and knew it but didn't seem worried. He said he hikes out every two weeks for supplies by a different route then we came in and he showed it to us. We used that route to get back as he had a trail beaten down so the walking was easier. All in all it was pretty cool. The trout the forest service was looking for were in the creeks so it is still closed to foot travel and we never told the forest service about the old helicopter pilot so I would bet he is still out there.
