I got stoned on the 4th of July
I ate a half of an edible and
Took Charlie on a walk
Left my vape sitting on old rotting bench facing Mt Diablo. Oops
I ignored a sign that said this area closed as there was clearly a trail
and I had never gone that way. Bad I know. The sign is there for a reason. But I was stoned. Is that an excuse? No sorry buddy boy
But the trail was gorgeous and it wandered thru multiple trees and shrubs and bushes and other leafy things. It led down. Down we went and further down and further. I was thinking I hope this leads out cuz I don't want to go back up this.
Finally I saw a dirt road and people in hiking outfits and holding walking sticks in each hand.
The trail ended on a steep decline to the road. There was an older couple standing there with what seemed their adult daughter. I burst on to the road exiting the trail just to the right of a large sign Closed to protect the habitat of endangered species.
They stared at me goggle eyed.
I broke the ice with my perfunctory good humor.
"Got any fireworks on ya?!"
There were large No FIREWORKS signs.
They took it in stride.
"Unfortunately no"
