cliff

story time every one this one is the story of the day that i feel down a clif. it was painfull and my fault too, but hey it makes a good story.


ok it happend this month last year. my friend natasha was staying with me because her mom and her step dad were off on their honey moon. it was a sort of rany affternoon and my mom told me and natasha to go and walk the dog. so we put on her leash and headed off. i was telling her tthat their was a beach acesess around my neibourhood. but there is a clif that we would have to climb down to get to it. (can you see were this is going). but there used to be a rope and i thought it was still there and i thought that we could climb down .....with the dog...well wearing shoes with no grip...on a rainy day...well i forgot my cell phone at home (can you say dumb idea!!). any way natasha thought that we could give it a try.

so we walked down to the beach acess. and natasha looked down the clif and she was the smart one who told me that maybe if we are going to climb down the clif we should tie the dog to a tree and see if we can make it without her before we try well taking her down. (i have a small sketched out dog so we would of had to carry down because she would be to affraid to climb down by her self). just to give u guys an idea of the cliff that i fell down. you know when you go on the bc ferrys heading to vancouver and you look to your left as it is pulling out and you can see that big sign that says cable....ya that was the cliff that i fell down. anyway the rope was no longer there so natasha decided to go down first. she got down easy did not trip or stumple or slid at all. seeing her do this i thought well that looks easy i can do this.

so i started to climb down. i was sliding down the dirt a little bit, and then when i was about half way down a lost my grip and i started to fall. oh and to make things worse i was more on my stomach then anything and i could not see were i was going. and there was a board with a nail sticking out of it on the bottem. luckaly natasha was fast she managed to slow me down and prevent me from landing on the board with the nail in it. oh sounds like the story is over but nope its not. once i wiped off my hands and made sure i was ok. me and natasha realized two things one it was impossible to go back up the way we came and two the tide was comming in. we ended up walking along the beach untill we saw an easier way up but this way was coverd with bushes. we ended up bush wacking our way up but first we had to take off out shoes because they had no grip at all and we were passing them up to each other well we climbed. we finaly go up and got back to the dog and walked home.

we were both wet, tired and pretty dirty. and i learned something from that experience. never leave without a cell phone, were shoes that you can climb in, and just becasue your friend can do something that looks easy does not mean that you can. ok hope you enjoyed this
