So, my boyfriend and I were camping in Sequoia National Park, which is home of the largest living thing on Earth, the General Sherman. There were many obstacles to surpass on the drive up (which will be future stories here) but we were finally enjoying the beauty of the park.
Just in case you’ve never been there, this park is up in the mountains. Like waaayy up in the mountains. Anyway, we were out hiking and came across a lookout point. I’m from Louisiana where the highest you can get is the Mississippi River Bridge, so of course I wanted to go out and look. We trek out onto the huge boulders, which was way cool, until we were about 20 or so feet from the ledge. It was absolutely beautiful. Spread out before me was another mountain that seemed to stretch as far as I could see. The boulders on top were similar to the ones I was now standing on, the trees were jetting out of the sides of the rock and the entire scene was just gorgeous. Since I was standing on a boulder on top of a mountain and I could see what the side of the other mountain looked like, along with the seemingly sheer drop, I wondered what OUR mountain looked like down the side.
Did I mention that we were on top of a mountain? Well, there were no rails or anything so I didn’t think that it would be dangerous or anything. Because if it were dangerous to the point where people could DIE you would think that there would be a rail or, at the very least, a sign. So, like any other curious cat, I inched out to the edge to look down and see what was down there. My boyfriend was busy enjoying the view and I guess didn’t notice what I had done until I was peering over the edge.
Me: “This is sooo cool, it’s a sheer drop with maybe a few trees and stuff like that…….you should come see!”
Bf: “I think you should come back here, you know how clumsy you are.”
Me (outraged):“I AM NOT CLUMSY. I’ll have you know that I have very good balance. Besides, I’ve never fallen off of a cliff before, so there.”
Bf: “Baby, its like a 10,000 ft drop. If you fall, I’m gonna have to tell your dad that I let you look over the ledge of a 10,000 foot cliff. They’re gonna think I pushed you. He’s gonna kill me!”
Me: “No he wouldn’t…....okay maybe he would. But none of that matters ‘cause I’m not gonna fall. I have good balance!!!”
Bf: “Baby. Please. Come. Back. From. The. Edge.”
Me: “Okay, fine. Sometimes you’re such a stick in the mud. Are you sure you don’t want to look?? I’ll hold your hand……..”
Bf (in a pretty nasty tone): “BABY!”
Me: “Okay, okay…”
So, I very carefully (since he’s being such a ninny) turn and start to make my way back to him and wouldn’t you know it…….. I tripped on a f-ing rock like two feet away from the edge.
Bf: “And THAT’S why I told you to come back from the edge!!!”
I guess he’s never heard that nobody likes an I told you so.
