ok, so i didnt really read about this that well so i didnt really know what i was in for but i knew i would get wet and i didnt actually plan on doing it i was nearby so i stopped for a look. i parked at the top of the hill (i did not know the circle drive was for cars until i started walking down it) and walked over to the fallen trees, i was able to walk out rather far on the larger one and i thought "that doesnt look waist deep, maybe the water is down." so, yup, i laid my coat on shore and walked out, boots, pants, shirt, and a stocking cap. well it wasnt waist deep but it hit right at the bottom of, err, right at the top of my thighs. 😮 now im searching, well, i misunderstood and once i found the slab i looked near it 🎱 but i could not see anything because i guess my feet were thrashing around down there. 🎱 i sure felt like i was walking slow but the mud i kicked up on the bottom suggested other wise. i figure out my mistake and guess where i must look. here comes the part i didnt think of, in waist deep water, if you want to put your hands on the bottom you have to put your upper body under. at least if you have my arms, so the only way i could find to keep my head above water and put my hands on the lake bottom was to kneel down, this submerged up to my neck. and just like that all the air rushes out of my lungs and breath comes short and fast. i saw no one around but if anyone would have looked out there all they would have seen was a head with a stocking cap on it above the water. im going to make the rest of this quick cause this explanation is getting out of hand. i scrape my hands around down there until i find it, once found i cant see it and i have no idea how to unsnap it so i must sit and wait for the mud to settle, once i can see i unsnap. i almost cant get the pipe open, my hands are swollen and they feel hot and as if they are being poked with needles. once pipe is open i pull out coin, then log book, i cant open it, i balance pipe on branch and try both hands but i cant hold and twist, my hands are so swollen i cant close them all the way. since i did not sign i put the brand new, never been used, bought at a gas station because i didnt have a pen, ever sharp (which i thought was a pen) into the cache. i also took out the signal coin. 😈
