    Default Once upon a time in a land far far away called GINNIELAND

    Sit back and enjoy the story and understand that this is a TRUE STORY.
    One day like many other 2 explorers traveled to a land called Ginnieland hoping to have the adventure. Little did they know that this day would end like no other they had ever experienced in their life. Now Ginnieland is a strange land where lots of strange things happen. Especially when the local young people come out to play. There are many things to do at Ginnieland. Things like Kayaking, Canoeing, Camping,Swimming and even Scuba Diving. And for those who like a little adventure in their life there is cave diving.
    As most who will read this will know a part of cave diving is doing a Deco stop and most know that the best and most interesting place to do a deco stop is in a hole called the Devils Eye. This place is special because of the strange sites you might see. Well after a great and adventuresum dive these 2 diver who will remain nameless we'll call one Jeno and the other Fred, They had a 10 minute deco to do and as usual they went to the Devils Eye to sit back and relax at the bottom and spend the time watching the show that is put on by the nice but not so bright tubers that float on by. This a great spectators sport and you can learn allot. Especially when they consume mass amounts of alcohol. I'm sure that those of us that have visited Ginnieland and done deco have seen all kinds of things, Some funny some interesting some are like standing in a peep show. Well on this day the swimmers managed to top all of those wonderful and interesting sights we seen.
    The two unnamed divers were just watching and they noticed something sinking to the bottom of the hole. It was a funny shaped thing, silver, long (about 8 inches)and skinny, Was it a beer bottle someone had dropped, NO! Was it a new kind of UPW (scooter for those who didn't know) No. But it did run on batteries, but it was to small and it didn't have a propeller. What could it be??? Well Jeno swims over to retrieve to object who knows it might be something of importance. Maybe even a reward would be given for it's recovery. Well Jeno swims over and picks it up and looks at it with a baffled look on her face when all of a sudden the person that lost it swims down and with a look of determination on her face grabs it out of Jenos hand. HOW RUDE!!! After all we were just trying to help. Well Jeno is now looking at Fred and he is laughing his head off. Jeno don't understand why but she thinks about it for a minute and this big grin comes across her face. What is really baffling is what use did this piece of equipment have while swimming or tubing and where would one keep it for that use. It was negatively buoyant so it was'nt to help her float. I guess you could use it to case the fish away or maybe it had an internal propulsion system and is activated when placed in it's special carrying case. We will never know.

    Moral of the story "When swimming with B.O.B. don't frog kick" who knows what could slip out.

    Don't you guys know a "freque" drive when you see one? Well, in this case I guess it would be a "freak" drive!

    Could have been worse. Could have been a guy trying to retrieve it.
