Part 1 (Falcon State Park, TX): Yuckers at Falcon State Park

Ryan wakes up at Falcon State Park, takes care of his personals, and packs his gear on his bike.

As he's about to pedal off, he sees three deer no more than fifteen yards away. A senior camper stands about ten yards from the animals, seemingly oblivious. Ryan waves his arms frantically in an attempt to alert the camper of the deers' presence, to no avail. The deer look around, doe-eyed (yuck yuck), and leave moments later.

(Ryan walks up to the senior camper)

Ryan: "Did you see the deer?"

Senior Camper: "You bet I did. See, my wife and I came here last year and the deer would come by every morning for a little bit of food. I have a can with a couple of corn seeds in it, and when I give it a shake they come a runnin'--sometimes seven or eight at a time."

Ryan: "That seems like a rather corny method (yuck yuck)."

SC: "Yeah, it works though. The animals really like the food we give 'em. They're such dears, y'know (yuck yuck)."

Ryan: "Ain't that the truth. Well, sir, I've got to get going. It was nice talking with you."

SC: "Where you headed?"

Ryan: "La Joya."

SC: (looks at my equipment) "By bike?"

Ryan: "By bike."

SC: (bobs his head) "Now that's something. With that tailwind, it should be a breeze (yuck yuck).

Ryan: "I sure am hoping so. Again, it was a pleasure meeting you. Time to roll out (yuck yuck)."

SC: "You mean hit the road (yuck yuck)?"

Ryan: "Yes, sir."

SC: "Then may the wind be at your back (yuck yuck)!"

Ryan: (mounts bike) "And may you be a happy camper (yuck yuck)!"

SC: "Goodbye!" (waves)

Ryan: "Adios!" (pedals off)

Yuck yuck.
