holy crap

i just went for a ride in penasquitos canyon. it was only going to be an hour and then I was going to go back to work because I have stuff due in the morning. got seriously lost. took a headfirst dive into a dried up creek bed that was all riverrock. eventually turned around, got back on the main trail.. and got lost again. it was getting dark and i was nervous. there is scat all over the trails and I know there are mountain lions. and rattlesnakes.. and apparently tarantulas. I saw one. and that explains what all the weird holes in the ground are. As dusk passed I found what looked like a trailhead, and it was.. glad to be out, but I was on the wrong side of the canyon from my car. had to go like 5 miles to SR56 and take that for another 12-15 to where my car was. I was already drained before I got out of the canyon. as I got out of the car at home I felt like shock was setting in. so cold. my leg is messed up from the creek bed. I couldn't get unclipped and my bike took the leg with it despite the knees protests.

I feel like crap. I realized that I didn't even get dinner. that train has passed, nothing around here is open this late. i'm going to be totally crippled in the morning I think.
