“Strange Things Lurk In The Woods of Arkansas At Night”

Here’s a photo from the “24 Hours of Hell” climbing competition at the Horseshoe Ranch in Arkansas. A report from two of the women contestants is here. I like this quote:

“A women’s team called The Cannibals climbed beside us for awhile, complete with crazy teased feather adorned hairdos, large and elaborate tatoos on their bare arms and legs and glow sticks taped to their quickdraws. They were scary. But not as scary as the huge Copperhead that was curled up on the trail, which was in turn not as scary as the dude I saw deliberately raise a watermelon sized rock over his head and drop it on the Copperhead, killing it instantly.”
