Poaching......

Last week I (Josh) gotta call from Squirrel at 4pm asking me if I was down for a little poach mission with him, Jaret Brantley and Riley Bangerter to hit up this little drop up in Rio Vista at a golf course. Of course you know I'm always down for a little mission, especially if there's a chance of getting in trouble so I obliged. Once we arrived at the spot we quickly realized that the chances of us getting confronted by someone, whether it be management, a concerned resident or the boys in blue, was about 100%. You see, Rio Vista Golf Course is a gated, retirement golf community and one thing I've learned from my days working at country clubs is that besides a lot of money, people who retire on golf courses also have a lot of time, time to be nosey. It also wasn't helping our situation that the spot was on the corner of the entrance into the community and was a stoplight. We were doomed. But being the consummate professionals we are we went ahead and hit it up. The next half hour was a treat. Jaret and Squirrel both got one hit in before the GM of the community came smashing down the road honking the horn in his little s-10 and shouting profanely at us that we were not to be there and the cops were on their way. We told him we were sorry and that we didn't see any No Trespassing signs, we weren't there to damage anything and that we were leaving.......after one more hit. He didn't like that and just went OFF on me while I struggled to get the winch started for Jarret who was strapped in ready to go. Jarret got the 3rd and final hit and we packed up our stuff while the GM continued to curse us and take pictures of our license plates and tried to get pics of our faces. We made it out of there before 'The Boys' showed up and we got into real trouble. Here's a little shot I took with my iPhone of Squirrel doin his thing while running the winch....also check out Riley's Blog for more.....
