Glow Stick

 

Back in the 80s, there was a van run in San Diego, California at the big oak

ranch.  it was a facility that had like an old Wild West town down at

the center and the road down to it kind of came up a hillside.  along the

hillside was a lot of camping spots. our club, Sunshine Super vans was

parked up on the hillside and about two camps up from us was San Diego Vans 

campsite.  there was a back path down to the center of the old west town

 and rather than walking down the road, which

was a twisty path. There was a little path on the back side of our

campsites that went and it was the sneaky back way to get down to where the

band and all the activities are happening in the little town. Well San

Vans was kind of rowdy back in those days and on Friday night, the truck-in

also included a lot of mini-truckers at that time and had both mini-truckers and Vanner's. 

So naturally at the band there was a lot of

going back and forth about who's the best of mini- truckers or vanners.

 Well San Diego Vans got into it and got into a drinking contest with about two other

mini-truck clubs. And they're going back and forth about who could out drink the

other and so the mini-truckers brought down some jungle juice and particularly one

one member of San Diego Vans, Farmer was really good at Hurrasing them. And so

they brought some jungle juice and he drank that and said what else you got? 

then you know San Diego Vans had whiskey and some other stuff and then they had

a little pint bottle of vodka and they handed that to farmer. Farmer down that

chucked it all down and said what else you got? So then being a little smart ass,

 one of the mini-truckers had one of the New Large glow sticks that

 were brand new on the market. So this kid had one of those so he broke it

and got it glowing and he cut the top off of it and said here if you can drink

anything drink this. Well farmer being farmer chugged it right down and that

was it. In the contest the mini-truckers said you win you can drink anything

not a problem. Well I didn't know this went on at all.

 I was at another part of the area.

 So later that night I'm going back up to camp using

that secret little path up the backway and about every 15 feet I see a little

glow spot,a green glow spot, on the ground marking the path all the way back up

 to my camp and passed my camp.

 I go wow what a clever idea. Some niceperson went and put a glow path 

on the backway so we can find our way.

 Little did I know that it was farmer getting rid of all whatever Chemicals  he drank in

that glow stick all the way back up to San Diego Van's Camp!
