About five years ago, my sister came down from Michigan for a visit. I took her to all my familar "goat trails, "as she called them. One of the "best places" I saved for last, in Dawsonville GA.
When we arrived we had to carefully get down this step hill. As we walked along this narow path, she grabbed me. Her big brown eyes seemed as big as saucers. "Kathy, there's a naked man, and he's coming right for us." I laughed I thought she was probably tired and didn't want to venture any farther.
"Come on Steph, this is a beautiful place. You have to see it." with tears in her eyes she said, "Kathy, I'm going back to the car." She turned around and started to run.
I've always been a pretty good runner, so I looked down the path and didn't see any one. I decided to crunch down and wait a minute. I was right in the "Y" of the path. I thought, we'll if there is a naked man, he's probably just a streaker and he'll stay away from me. If he comes at me...well then he's a bad egg, and I'll catch up with Steph.
All of a sudden there he was! Naked as a jay bird, the hairiest person I've ever seen in my whole life! And that certain part, well it was just a swingin.' He could have directed the Mormon Tabernacle Choir from the 50 yard line of a football field. Not only that; he was heading right for me!
I screamed, "Holy *hit!" I took off on one of the fastest sprints I've ever ran. Very quickly, I caught up with my younger sister. Her eyes were still huge. "You seen him, didn't you?"
"Yeah, he's right behind us." I grabbed her arm and we flew up the path. The naked jay bird was right behind us. We reached the the big hill, very quickly. I shoved Steph's hinnie. "Move your @$$ up that hill!"
As tears rolled down her cheeks, she yelled back, "You and your damn goat trails. I ain't never going with you again." Well dang, we were both older and fatter. I just knew she'd never make it up that hill before old nasty got a hold of one or both of us. If this guy raped either of us we would have never got all of his nastiness or hair off.
I grabbed the biggest rock I could pick up. As I swung around to hit him in his head, he was was gone. I gave Steph, another push. We finally made it back to the van. We jumped in and locked the doors. I was so out of breath from an asthma attack, I thought I was gonna die. I was frantically was throwing things out of my purse trying to find my inhaler. Just as I stuck it in my mouth, I looked over there was Stephie sticking a cigareette in her mouth.
"Don't you dare! Are you trying to kill me?" She pulled the cigarette out of her mouth. "When did you get asthma?"
Gasping I said, "Well, when did you start smoking again?" We both just cracked up laughing. We laughed so hard that we cried. Poor Steph, it was her birthday, and she had soaked herself from her crotch all the way down to her shoes! She looked like she had a pair of riding chaps on.
"but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not grow faint." Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)
(Steph, I'm sorry I didn't get to finish showing you this place in person. You'll be happy to know they put a real nice set of steps in, and even a real nice walk way! It was a great walk today and there was no naked man! )
