Bum Luck
One spring day my friend Dan and I
went out goose hunting at Big B. We went early in the morning because
it was colder and it would be easier going. It was a cold crisp
morning so we warmed up our snow-machines, then we were on our
way.The trail was good going but in some spots we broke through the
thin layer of ice that froze overnight. We got there about two hours
after we left home. As soon as we arrived the birds were already
flying around. All day we kept shooting but we only caught three
each. I told Dan "I guess it's just bum luck!" When the sun was high
in the sky and it got warmer, the birds started to fly high in the
sky. They looked like tiny black specks in the great blue yonder, so
we decided to head home because we had only a few shells after
shooting all day.
On our way home the trail got very
bad. "I hope we make it home," Dan said. The trail got worse but it
was still fairly good until we came to the slough that flows out of
muddy lakes. It had much more water than it had in the morning. I
told Dan that we had to speed up to get across the water. I went
across the slough like a boat out of hell. Dan who is Mr. Safety
himself didn't go as fast as I did and the water slowed him even more
and he went under. He drowned his machine! He was standing on his
seat looking worried and I started to laugh like hell because it
looked so funny.
We pulled his machine out, but by the
time we got it going again it started to get cold and a snow storm
was closing in on us. I was p.o.'d at Dan because his machine
wouldn't stay runnning. So we decided to head for home as fast as we
could on my machine. But the storm caught up with us anyway and we
couldn't see four feet in front of us. We kept going in the blinding
snow storm which seemed like forever. We stopped for awhile by some
trees and made a fire and had something to eat, although the whole
time I was bitching at Dan. But after awhile we were on our way
again.
After two and a half hours of a long
bouncy ride we suddenly bumped into something. When we went to check
it out we saw that it was a metal post with a chain around it. We
followed the chain and found dogs at the end of it. We were behind
the village in a dog yard! We looked at each other and said, "We're
HOME!!" When we got to my house they were just about to send out a
search party for us.
