Scary Scenario Sunday

Good eeeeevening, everyone!  It is I, Mags the Impaler, here with Countess Cam-ula!  As we mentioned in our post from the Black Swamp yesterday, we headed out on a day trip with Mom and Dad yesterday to do some birding.  One part in particular was reeeeeally scary, and I thought I'd share it with you.  Let's start from the beginning.

We headed out just like normal:

"Mom, did you pack the travel Othello game?"
"I'm too busy navigating even if she did, Countess Cam-ula!"

I don't know what it is with Cam and travel Othello!

Anyway, we were heading back to Quivira National Wildlife Refuge!  It takes a couple hours or so to get down there, so in addition to backseat navigating, I found other ways to amuse myself.

"Hey, Cam.  Let's make faces at other drivers when they go by!"
"I'm not sure that's a good idea ..."

Cam nixed that idea, so I did what came naturally ...

"That's better."
"Zzzz..."

We got really close to one of those submarines this time:

SUBMARINE!

I still have no idea what they're doing out there!

We saw this place on the way down, in the small town of Ellinwood:

It's nice that they have a place for wolves to stay, isn't it?

Anyway, we drove around Quivira National Wildlife Refuge for quite a while, then decided to see what was north of the refuge. And ... HERE'S WHERE IT GETS SCARY!!!! Brace yourselves, readers!!!

"YOU'RE LETTING MOM DECIDE WHICH WAY TO TURN?!?!?!"

Seriously. For those of you who know my mom's sense of direction, that is downright FRIGHTENING!!!!

Here's one of the roads we went down:

Scary, isn't it?  But, hey, Mom saw cool stuff to photograph (we'll share some of Mom's pix and a link to them later on this week!) and Dad knew what he was doing, so it was all good.

Speaking of good -- back to me and Countess Cam-ula!  We took a nice break in one of the small towns on our way home - stretched our legs, had some beverages, had a snack.  Oh.  And Mom and Dad had sandwiches.  Mom opened the back hatch of our Husky Recreational Vehicle (HR-V) to get them after Cam and I were seat-belted back in.

IMG_6087MagsCamHR-V
"Look into my eyes.  Deeper.  DEEPER.  Yes, that's it.  Give. Us. Your. Sandwich."
"I think it's working, Mags the Impaler!"

Countess Cam-ula really needs to stop smiling so much, doesn't she?  Sheesh!  Anyway, back to my mind-meld ...

"Deeper... yes... yes, SHARE that sandwich!"
"I'm so happy!"

So, yeah. That was TOTALLY effective; Cam and I each snagged a bite of Mom's sandwich. It was awesome! So was the whole trip! Tune back in later in the week for Mom's photos!

Yours sincerely,
Mags the Impaler

    That is a very scary looking road. Add mist and darkness and a full moon and we would have wet ourselves.

    OMC, who knows what was at the end of that road?? You girls are very brave. And kudos to you for snagging pieces of Mom's sandwich. I think the hypnotizing AND the smiling worked. I like the Wolf Hotel too. They need to stay SOMEwhere safe when they're traveling, right?
