It wasn't a month since that visit to Dehradun and a mile from Robber's cave. The surveyor instinct kicked in. Unfortunately now wasn't the best time.
I was about 3 klicks of the campsite and guide, and just enough it looked like I found a way back. Don't ask me how I got there.
When I was on my journey, about halfway there through the shortcut, I clutched on a loose tree bark and held on. If I knew better, that tree's days were limited.
First of all, it wasn't rooted. It was just placed in the ground. Second, it was some sturdy tree. When I pulled my hand back, the tree toppled over and it fell over my back.
( I think ) I cried out loud enough for the moon to hear. Somehow, it looked like the camp didn't get it. It was followed by a second. Nothing.
To let myself go, I pulled out a rope from my hiking kit, which was backpacked, so I had quite a time trying to take it out. I tied it the log and somehow skillfully threw it over, some hopefully, rooted and better tree. One end of the rope dangled at my face. I caught it and used the all of me to pull up and remove the tree.
After a never ending minute, I was off and running. I've got my diary to fill now, and this is quite big.
A Visit to Dehradun
I have always enjoyed taking long walks among the forests. So, when I visited Dehradun recently and saw the huge forest out there, I had the same feeling. I felt that the forest was beckoning me just like a close friend to visit it. I decided to go early in the morning. I had checked with my friends but everyone was tired and wanted to take a break. So, I decided to go alone. I got up before sunrise and decided to go for a walk. The sun was rising through the trees and a light wind was blowing. It was indeed a beautiful sight; a sight worth waking up for.
I climbed on the top of a tree and savoured the beautiful sight. Suddenly I looked at my watch, it was 6.30. Since I wanted to be back in time to join the others for breakfast, I decided to get down quickly and take shortcuts through the woods. Suddenly the wind started blowing hard. I tried to take more shortcuts but I lost my way. I just didn't know where I was. I was standing wondering what to do, suddenly a huge tree crashed, pinning me underneath its trunk. I fell unconscious.
When I regained my consciousness, I heard my name being called. After a few seconds, I realized that they were my friends. I shouted back. It seemed I had been away for a long time. It was almost 9. They were worried and had come looking for me. With the grace of God, I was safe. I managed to escape and joined my friends.
