David, the kids and I went to the Central Florida Spring Gathering today at Hontoon Island. We had a great time. In fact, people are still having a good time, as some are camping there in cabins or tents over the weekend.

We did a hike, just the 4 of us. It's about 3 miles, round-trip. On our way to the "end" of the trail (one-way), I notice a very thin lady in a bikini, squatting down in front of a toddler girl. I think "She's helping her daughter with something"....only I realize the lady's bikini bottoms are around her ankles.

I stop in my tracks, and turn my 13 year old son and myself around; we stand there just waiting. David and our daughter were further behind us, as a 3 year old has teeny little legs and takes longer to catch up.

I turn around to see the lady and the girl leave to our right. As we start to walk towards where she was, a British couple that had passed us earlier and were making their way back, start saying to us "Mind your step. Walk to your far right" while the husband is asking "Did you see that?" We all stop together to talk. It seems they came upon her from the other side....and she was not just peeing.

There was a clearing there, right next to the river. Her husband/boyfriend pulled his boat to the clearing, she hopped off the boat with her toddler, left her "gift", went back on the boat and took off.

The British couple were disgusted, as were we, at what this lady had just done. She did not even cover it or bury it, or even hide in the bushes. STRAIGHT on the trail.

We covered our noses and looked away as we walked by. The thought of it made David and my son want to puke. I did not EVEN point out to the two of them that a "used" paper towel was also dropped on the way to the river.

So....yea. Worse than sex on the trail, eh?

Well - it is certainly MUCH more messy....and obvious.

Gross.

I'll take the naked doggie pile anyday over this.

Yeah......MUCH worse !!!

That is absolutely DISGUSTING! I have never heard of anyone so rude before! Now, peeing on the trail is okay, but if you leave presents, that is taking it a little too far!

Trouble Bug, who is totally grossed out by karen and david's experience.

To help me wipe the image from my mind???

I can't believe I'm going to say this......

...but don't you wish there was a slinging monkey taking aim at the back of that skinny head as it drove off in the boat?

So glad we didnt have a compass with us. We would have attempted that same trail not long after you. I guess forgetting things is sometimes a lucky thing!

When you gotta go, you gotta go. :)

It could be that since they were in a boat she didn't know that there was a trail *right there*.

Then again she may have just been inconciderate.

And I did think the same thing. Except for the WIDE path to her left when she got of the boat. And the brown metal sign with the arrow pointing to where the trail continued from the clearning that said "NATURE TRAIL" to her right. LOL

Or with its being Mem. Day weekend, perhaps she'd had a bit much too drink and wasn't capable of clear, rational thought about where she was doing her bidness.

Ah, well see, I didn't know about that when I was trying to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Okay, now I'm wondering how many stupid things I did when I was younger and in that exact condition. Thank God there was no internet then.
