Things To Do In Jasper, Arkansas

Just got back from the Jasper. Here are some things I did while I was there:
-Stayed in a sweet cabin on Lake Lene.
-Found out there was a bar in Jasper called The Hub (Never made it inside).
-Went Canoeing.
-Lost all of the food to the river right as we put in.
-Saw a snake.
-The only shower I took on the 3 day trip was underneath the highest waterfall in mid-America, Hemmed-in Hollow (Notes: it was my first time to see it, and I almost broke a rib climbing on the slippery rocks).
-Learned about a cult in Jasper called F.O.U. - which stands for Foundation Of Ubiquity (However Leif told us, mistakenly, it stood for Food, Oxygen, and Understanding) - that took a bus hostage in Jasper in the early eighties.
-Performed my first baptism on Joe Sundell (Note: He claims that after he arose anew from the water that he saw a white light and heard the song freebird by lynyrd skynyrd playing).
-Learned how to play the dulcimer.
-Got beat in a game of chess by Leif in four moves.
-Realized, rather confirmed, that Mike's Place sucks to work at, but is pretty funny when all your friends work there too. Jokes, and jokes, and jokes.
-Took a lot of scandalous photos with Matt, most likely regrettable, but perfectly hilarious.
-Added a few words to my vocabulary (definitions courtesy of Oxford English Dictionary): Squaw-offensive word for an American Indian woman or wife (not what we thought it was), culvert-a tunnel carrying a stream or open drain under a road or railway (what we thought it was), terrapin-a small freshwater turtle (not exactly what we thought it was).

I HATE squaw offensives! They need to get a job!
Yeah, Leif was totally way off in his knowledge of the Foundation of Ubiquity, but it sounds like a pretty sweet cult, nonetheless. Too bad we missed out on all of that. Born too late, we'll die too soon...So anyhoo, that was pretty gnarly when you fell on those rocks under that water fall. And yes, those photos will probably come back to haunt you. Especially since I already deleted all of the questionable ones of me, with the exception of the one of me and you on my site. Leave me a comment telling me what you think about that. I'm going to see you soon. We are selling shrimp in a tent at Toad Suck. What the fuck have our lives come to?
