I've rotated to nights after being on days for the past 9 weeks. Between work and my boys, I've not had a lot of time for much of anything else.
We did have a good time last weekend. My Brother bought some acreage down along the Ohio River, across from Pt. Pleasant, WV. Very remote, peaceful, great fishing and deer hunting. My brother says he wants to try his hand at some wild borer hunting which they say can be found around that area.
My Son (8) and I went down there to go camping and do some fishing. Friends of my brother's joined in and brought their kids as well.
Of course one of the older kids started on the stories of "Moth Man" around the camp fire and freaked my Son out. He didn't want to go to bed, but when it was time, he really started to freak. Don't know if you have heard of Moth Man, but it's a mythical creature they say roamed that part of the Ohio/WV region back in the mid 60's. This was before the silver bridge collapse that killed 46 people. They say it's still an area full of paranormal incidents.... UFO's, big foot, men in black, etc.. I have to admit, the history, remote surroundings, rolling hills, and valley prairies do add a touch of mystic.
It didn't help a very heavy fog rolled in about 2:00 AM that morning. You couldn't even see your hand in front of you. He was up ALL night and I had to prod him to go outside the tent to pee.. lol. Anyway, we survived without incident, but I was very tired the next day. He actually told me he's OK with "Moth Man" now and he wants to go back there camping again. I guess the fun we had outweighed the "aliens and creatures" in the area.
