I took a road trip with DT and WL and we decided to go to the Garden of the Gods in Illinois. WL is kind to me at first, but DT is angry. We arrive at night and the garden has a carnival freakshow aspect to it. There are several twisted rides and games to play. One of the rides simulated what it would be like to get eaten by a gigantic man. I got shoved in his mouth and chewed up at the beginning, and then fall down a tube and into a big pit of padding foam meant to be his stomach. This all occurs in pitch darkness and is quite exciting. One of the most bizarre sensations is sinking deeper into the foam pieces because of my density. I am now seperated from the people that I came there with and I wander around the festival-garden for awhile.

When I find my friends again they are both happy to see me. They tell me that while we were seperated that they came across a pile of old maps. Some had color and others were very old and just black and white. I read some fine writing on one of the maps and it said Churubusco. I asked them where they bought the maps from and they told me that I wouldn't have to deal with that. They said that they found them underneath a table and took them. I didn't ask any more questions. I love maps!

Additional Comments:

I teach a lab where we taught a lab on density and I graded the density essay question on their midterms. I recently recalled a trip taken to the Garden. I recently used a map called churubusco at work. The night before I studied an equation that created the name of DT.

    It is daytime and I am somewhere with my father. I decide that I want to take a trip, and I plan to drive. I decide that I should follow a railroad track that runs through the area. The railroad follows a big river down in the valley. As I start to drive along the track, the roads that I am using stop. I end up parking my car in a lot and continuing to follow the tracks by foot across elevated railroad bridges. Eventually I decide that I will get tired this way and it won't be as comfortable, and also there is nowhere to sleep, so I should go back and get my car and find a different road that went the same general direction. I turn around and begin to walk along the tracks. I notice something unusual in the woods next to my path. I eventually get back to my car, but realize that I have no map and therefore cannot locate what other roads would work. Defeated, I decide to try the journey another time.

    I was up in an airplane and ended up jumping out and parachuting. I saw two white parachutes open below me, and I was concerned that mine was not going to open. With the concern I managed to will my parachute open and live.
