Locked in
Only me can get locked in a state park after dark on Halloween night.So I decided to go for a little walk around the corner from my house at the Cathedral Caverns State Park. The gates were open, so I figured that they closed around 6pm or dusk like most other state parks. I just needed some alone time to breath in some clean air, and figured I'd only be a few minutes. So, I walked around a few, sat on the picnic benches and after about 10 minutes jumped back in my car to go home.
One problem though.... someone had locked the GATE! I was stuck in the state park with no way out. After a few moments of panic, I ended up having to call 911 to try and get in touch with a park ranger. 911 dialed from Grant gets sent 2 counties over, so after about 3 transfers, I get patched through to the local sheriff. They tell me that they are looking for someone who can unlock the gate.
So I wait. In the pitch black dark. On Halloween. The only thing I can think of is that any second Freddy Krueger or Jason is going to jump out of the bushes. I mean seriously, its straight out of a horror movie.
After an hour and a half, the park ranger finally shows back up and unlocks the gate.
Why me?????
