Wrong Place at the Wrong Time!

Wrong Place at the Wrong Time!

The mountain fire roared up out of the third canyon and breached the fire lines like a giant frog leaping over a footprint and rapidly spread into new virgin forest that gradually sloped up to the mountains. Smoke filled the skies and the new fire crews were being dropped off along the higher perimeters of this latest summer forest fire. The fire had nearly been contained but the winds out of the north had pushed the fire up the canyon and now unexpectedly it had leaped the lines and refreshed itself with new vigor.

The huge air water tankers were being called in to douse the fires latest thirst for dry timber which lay directly in its path. The massive planes swooped down over the lakes surface and dropped their water scoops as they slowly flew across the smooth tranquil lake and sucked up fifty thousand gallons of fire killing liquid at a time. They would then slowly lift back up into the sky and fly once again over the mountain and like a great bird swooped down onto the red blaze and poured out a good portion of the lakes water onto the tongues of fire. This lake dumping operation was repeated over and over and along with the many forest crews who had cut wide fire roads, the fire soon met its end when the winds changed and the last part of the lake was dropped like a river onto the stubborn flames.

The clean up crews were left behind to tidy up and walk among the burnt out forest and make sure no hot spots decided to flare up again. Vast acres of black ash covered the once thick forested hills and destruction like that of a war lay spread out before the final crews. Now and then the searchers would stumble onto a sad sight of a deer which had been caught into the chasing flames and some of the most wonderful trees now lay in heaps of ashes. The springs were dry, while the streams were clogged with black ash and burnt embers. But along one barren hillside the mop up crew came to one of the most incredible sights they could imagine. In fact they thought someone was playing a real dirty trick on them…when they came upon a SCUBA DIVER laying dead in the ashes. Now this had to be something, a man in a SCUBA diving suit, just laying amidst the burnt out forest. Now how on earth could this be?

Finally Luther had found that one mountain lake where he could dive without being bothered by curious swimmers and boaters. Even though the rules of SCUBA diving were that no diver should dive alone Luther didn’t care nor did he mind the solitude and peace of having a huge lake like this to himself. It was a little more time getting into this place but it sure was nice having so much space to himself and so his three day vacation wore on. After all, “Didn’t he deserve this time alone and away from all his troubles back in the big city? Each time he descended into the depths of the cold clear waters he thought of how wonderful it was to be out here, away from all the noise and burdens of life and as he ascended from the depths and met the cool refreshing air he heard an incredible noise but thought it just to be his ears ringing… SLURP!!!

Is there something we can use from out of this story to assist us in our own little adventures? Yes, no matter how hard you try, as a traveler, if your caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, there is nothing the “Big Agency” back home is gonna be able to do for you; and in some cases the Big One in the sky won’t be able to do much for you either! Therefore, please understand that travel of any sort, can and will open one up for possibly more adventure than was originally expected. Don’t let Luther's unfortunate mishap discourage you from your favorite activities, just be somewhat better alerted to possible serendipity, unexpected circumstances and potential consequences that just might come your way…HAPPY TRAVELS!
