A Week In The Zones

Sorry
for my week long absence everyone, I know you have anxiously been awaiting my
return. But I was off on my spring break! And to make up the lack of posts,
this one is going to rather long and detailed and filled with all sorts of
stuff about what I did while I was MIA.
3-12-12 Day 1
Izzie
and I drove up to Planet Vernal, which is situated in a desert 200 miles away
in the middle of nowhere. We expected to
get there, go to Izzie’s parents house, sit down talk and have a nice dinner,
but it didn’t really work out that way. I was called at least four times before
getting into town by various friends who told us to meet them at Smith’s, so
that’s where we went. We met up with Quincy and Roach, and said hello to Badger
before she scurried off to work. Then we finally headed up to Izzie’s parents
house with Quincy following close behind in his car. We said hello to Izzie’s parents
before heading back to Smiths in Quin’s car to buy food for a BBQ. We gathered
up some hotdogs and buns then ran over to Quin’s house where we lit a fire in
his fire pit and started cooking said hotdogs, bacon, and hamburgers. After a
bit, Brea came over with her boyfriend. We ate dinner then we decided to head
back to Izzie’s. Quin and I drove around a little bit longer, waiting for
Badger to get off work. At about eleven, we all decided to go up the canyon and
do some ghost hunting. We settled on Dry Fork Cemetery and a scary campsite a
bit farther up the canyon, and even caught a few decent things. As the wee hours of the morning crept up, we
all decided we were hungry and went to McDonalds, where Badger had a bit of a
spat with the drive-thru minion over a few missing ranch packets. After that we
finally went home and tried to go to bed, but we ended up throwing a
spontaneous 3AM Scentsy party. Finally at about 5AM, we got everyone out of the
house and crashed out.

Day 2
We woke
up at around noon, then texted Quincy, who replied with “be there soon”. In about five minutes Quincy walked in with
Travis trailing not far behind. Apparently Quin didn’t want to drive him home
the night before. We decided that food
sounded good, so we went to JB’s where we met up with Badger and got some
lunch. It was super delicious and we also had the coolest waitress ever. We
hung out for the rest of the day driving around and goofing off, and rocking
out to some good music. Later that night, Badger decided she wanted to find a
cave that was nestled in the wall of Dry Fork canyon somewhere and dragged us
along. After an hour and a half full of nearly hitting 4 different herds of
deer, 3 bunnies, and a few unfortunate sagebrush plants, we gave up and headed
home. The cave’s whereabouts is still shrouded in mystery. We finally got home at around 4AM.

Day 3
We woke
up at around noon again, and this time we went to lunch with Izzie’s mom, Lee,
at JB’s again (there aren’t a lot of places to eat in Vernal that won’t give
you some sort of food poisoning). After
that we met up with Badger and drove around with her again until Quin was free,
then we picked him up and decided to go look for the cave while it was still
light outside. Still haven’t found the
stupid thing, but it was a fun drive nonetheless. That night we decided go do EVP’s again. This
time we went to a cemetery we had never done one at before in an even smaller
town called Jensen. We did an EVP on
one side of the cemetery and Izzie heard the sound of someone crying on the
side of the car, after that we went to the other side of the cemetery. We recorded
for a minute, then we saw what looked like truck lights driving down a road,
but we know for a fact there is no road on the other side of the cemetery, then
in a split second it looked like the truck was not only in the cemetery, but
getting close to where we were parked. As we sat there I heard what sounded like
gravel crunching next to the car, and Quin decided to get out of there. As he was turning the car around Izzie saw
what looked like dirty jeans running across the road then toward the truck
lights. We turned around and got out of there as fast as we could. Then we went back to Izzie’s and hung out for
a while, and at about 3am we went to bed.
Steinaker Reservoir, it was still partly frozen, so Quincy and I threw rocks on it, and they stayed. |

Day 4
This
was probably the most normal day out of the week. We woke up at ten, got
dragged to Taco Bell by Quin to try the new Doritos Locos Taco (which was freaking
amazing by the way). After that we just kind of sat around the house relaxing
until about 7, then we went to Winger’s with Brea and her boyfriend. It was ok.
Buffalo Wild Wings is far superior, especially since Winger’s screwed up my
order. After that we kidnapped Quin again for a few hours and watched old
school 90’s Nicktoons until about 3, then went to bed.

Day 5
Originally
we had planned to get up and head for home before 10 AM. Just as we were
packing we got a call from Drew who decided he needed to see us right then. So
we waited, and waited…and waited for him to get back from wherever he was. We
hung out with Lee for a while, then just as we were about to give up and leave
he showed up with his new girlfriend. We finally got out of Izzie’s house
around 2:30, and decided to go say bye to Quin at Taco Bell, and pick up some
lunch stuff (more Doritos Locos Tacos!). We ended up meeting Quin in the
parking lot and followed him back to his house where he finished a CD for
Izzie, and after a heartfelt and rather sad goodbye, we finally got out on the
road at almost 5PM.

And
that about wraps up my spring break adventures.
I found out how much I missed my desert, and my friends Izzie and I have
lovingly call our Killjoys, but the real world called us back, and now I can go
to school on Monday.
