So Kenya and I went on a walk this morning near the Boise river in Eagle. It is one of my favorite places to go because its quiet and only about 10 minutes from home. We didn't realize when we got there that by the end of our little walk I'd end up calling 911....
The Boise river runs for miles. There are a ton of trees and little trails that make it fun to just let your dog loose and wonder around so we did. We turned a corner that is when my stomache jumped..
I saw this man laying lifeless entangled in a fence. I said, "hello". He didn't move. I wondered if I had stumbled across a corpse. Your probably wondering why I would ever think that it was a corpse because he is not laying on the ground but if any of you paintball then you know how we often poke ourselves inbetween twigs and fences, or maybe he was hung I don't know, after all we are in the woods. So at this point all I knew was it was a man and he wasn't moving. Yes, it sounds rediculous but if you saw this in the middle of the forest you would probably be at least a little taken off gaurd too.
Being the fearless one that I am, I let Kenya off her leash so she could check out the corpse. She is not much of a corpse searching type of dog so she just laid down on the path so I went closer for a closer look and found this. Gosh, whomever stuffed those legs sure made them look lifelike!
As I continued along the path we came to a fire. I thought maybe someone was camping there but as we got closer it was evident that it was just burning on its own in the trees and weeds. So we (Kenya and I) called 911 and the firetrucks came and put it out. I took this pic after the fact but if you look closely you can still see some smoke. Yeah, this story has a dumb ending but at least no one was hurt, no one was a corpse, and Kenya and I survived yet another walk through the woods.
