DEVIL'S MEADOW


The guys had been planning this camping trip for months. A big Halloween macho male bonding kind of trip. But Jack just was not sure of the location Devil's Meadow. He wasn't sure this was such a good idea. He knew it just felt wrong. But if he backed out now the guys would think he was a pansie and he would never hear the end of it. He had everything packed and was ready to go. The guys Tim, Devan and Sam finely pulled up out front it was nice that Tim had his license. Him being the oldest of the four of them. It was a good thing Tim had managed to borrow his brothers truck. It was big and black with a double cab and a large bed in the back. He tossed his gear in with the rest of the others stuff. Then climbed into the front part of the cab. When he glanced across the seat Tim rubbed his head showing Jack his new buzz cut. When Jack glanced at Devan and Sam he noticed them smirking. It was pretty funny looking on Tim especially when his head was shaped just an egg. Jack could not help but stifle a giggle. They all joked and teased him about it. He didn't mind thats the way they always did. They were a sightly bunch all of them so different in looks. Sam was the redhead with brown eyes, Devan had black hair and green eyes, Tim was blond haired with blue eyes and Jack had brown hair and eyes. They were all just country boys at heart and loved the fresh air. They had been on camping trips before and they spent a lot of their free time together. But still Jack just didn't feel right about this trip. He wasn't sure why it bothered him so much. They planned to drive as far as they could then walk the rest of the way. The woods looked dark and foreboding and there was just something eerie about the whole idea. When they reached the parking spot. They all hopped out of the cab and headed around to the back. They gathered all there camping gear and headed into the woods. They knew they would make the clearing in about an hour. They followed the path through the woods. Then when they entered the clearing they looked around. They had came in past the large oak that seemed to reach out as if standing guard over the meadow. The leaves of all the trees had reached their peak colors. It looked as if they were surrounded by

Here is a poem that I got in my mail today...april 5, 2008

Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,And before I know it, a year is gone.
And I never see my old friends face,For life is a swift and terrible race,they know
I like them just as well,
As in the days when I rang their bell.
And they rang mine but we were younger then,And now we are busy, and tired. Tired of playing a foolish game,Tired of trying to make a name.'Tomorrow' I say! 'I will call on them
Just to show that I'm thinking of them.'But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,And the distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner, yet miles away,
'Here's a telegram sir,' '___ died today.'
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
Remember to always say what you mean.
If you love someone, tell them.

Because when you decide that it is the right time it might be too late.
Seize the day. Never have regrets.
And most importantly, stay close to your friends
And family, for they have helped
Make you the person that you are today.
SMILE, even through your
tears!!!!!
