Something Lives At Jackman Trail 01

　　One Saturday night three friends, Marc, Eric and Forest, and myself were out trying to find something to do, preferably a party where we could meet some girls. We decided to head down to Jackman Trail, as this was a typical party spot. Before moving on I do have to note that none of us had been drinking and we never did drugs.

　　Jackman Trail is a small, rocky beach along the banks of the Saline River in Arkansas. This beach just so happened to be nestled about 100 feet under a freeway overpass which made it isolated enough for the local youth to use as a party hangout. The road to Jackman Trail is kind of spooky but we never really paid attention to it. It’s a single lane dirt road lined down each side by thick pines. It was so narrow that if you met another car while driving, one of you had to pull off the road to let the other person pass. This usually involved one car having to drive in reverse to either Jackman Trail or the entrance to the unnamed dirt road that led to the beach.

　　一个星期六的晚上， 我和我的三个朋友:marc,eric还有forest在外面想找点什么做做， ,最好是能去个聚会， 这样我们就能认识女孩了。 于是我们决定往JackmanTrail那边走走， 因为那儿常有很多聚会。 在我继续讲这个故事之前我想先声明一下， 我们几个都没有喝酒， 而且我们也从不吸过毒。

　　JackmanTrail是一小块满是岩石的沙滩， 地处阿肯萨斯州的saline河岸边。 从这片沙滩之上一百英尺左右就是一座高速公路桥， 使得这里显得与世隔绝而成为当地年轻人经常聚会的所在。 去JackmanTrail的路有点阴森森的，可我们从来没把这当回事。 那是一条单车道的土路, 两边全是密密的松树。 路特别窄， 如果你在路上碰到另一辆车的话， 你们其中一辆就得把车开到路边， 让另外一辆先走才行。 这样的话， 有一辆车就得倒车,要么往jackman的方向倒， 要么往那条通往海滩的无名土路入口的方向倒。
