Sedona Desert, AZ
This night has THE MOST HILARIOUS story attached to it. Side note: I saw my first black widow here. Okay, so. Mat and Meggo, Jeremy and I all slept in beef (the canadian's van) because it got to like 10 degrees that night. We wanted to be warm! So, in the night something t-e-r-r-i-f-y-i-n-g happens. We all wake up, at the exact same time to the sound of somebody...right outside the van. Nobody says a word, until I whisper, "do you hear that" and everyone responds "yes"- fully awake. Heart stopping. We don't move. Jeremy and Mat start to talk about what it might be, what might be happening, if the door is locked, etc. Mat thinks he hears somebody open our van door. Then, we hear a stream, like water hitting the dirt. "they're syphoning gas" I say to everyone, totally sure that is what is going on at this point. Nobody knows what to do. Right as we fall silent again, somebody pushes, with force, the back door open. "HEY" Jeremy screams as he sits up, my heart POUNDING as I lay still, thinking about how to defend myself. "Oh my GOD WHAT?!" I hear a sweet feminine voice say. We DIE. Megan...was in the bathroom...and every single noise we heard was her going pee INSIDE the van that we were all in. And what's truly hilarious? Mat (ehemmmm) had no idea that his girlfriend was not next to him in their TWIN bed...and nobody wondered why she hadn't said anything during our terrified conversation. We laughed for weeks about this, and to this day, this is still one of my favorite moments.
