    I’ve seen that guy! Kayaking down a lazy river and there’s a dude catching and cataloging turtles. Stopped to chat a bit. No idea how the hell he got to where he was. No boat, no roads near.

    Same trip I saw a couple of teens in the water around a bend. Waved at them, wait… WTF is that in the water? Whole ass horse comes busting out the river.

    SAME trip, we got to where the rednecks hang out on the weekends. It’s a little village of shacks wrapped around a long, slow bend in the river, super cool. Dozens of adults and kids playing around, and a 5’ gator standing on the shore, stiff as a statue, just staring straight ahead.

    I need to go kayaking this weekend.

    Indiana Jones, anyone? Lara Croft? They were scientists and unhinged and ran around in a lot of fields.

    The paleontologists in the Jurasic Park. When I saw the movie for the first time, I thought they were unrealistic and very mad. Who would go straight to a giant herbivore like Brachiosaurus or Triceratops? Surely they would be aware of the huge danger, right? Then I got to know a few zoologists and yes, this is exactly what a field zoologist would do. They would also survive, magically.
