The hunt for green Ocotober

During the weekend my roommates and I found that we had a bit of free time with nothing to do so we decided that we would go out exploring. One of my roommates Matt Martin had noticed a day earlier or so that there was a large patch of green forest near to where we live, and since we live in a desert, he really wanted to go and find it and see where it was. We decided that we would go along with him just to check things out, and also to simply get out of the apartment. The last couple of weekends I have gone on TV/Movie watching binges, where I literally didn't leave the apartment for about 48 hours straight, so breaking with tradition I decided I would go as well.

After about 5 minutes of walking from our apartment, we found what was the wooded area. It turned out it was just the southern part of the University of Jordan, that we walk by almost daily on our way to speak with our friends and the other students at the University. It was pretty anti-climatic, but we did find a few mounds of what can only be assumed were zombie squirrels of moles or something, and a couple of large shoulder blades, probably from a donkey that had died or something. Seeing as how the adventure had become very anti-climatic and lasted for an extremely short amount of time, we decided to turn around and walk back home by way of the main road going through the University.

Matt Found him some Grass

As we reached the main road, we came up to the Jet that sits next to the road and were on our way down the road when Garrett Root noticed something of intrigue. Just past the jet and slightly further back from the road was a large old locomotive from the early 1900's (give or take). Seeing, as how our forest search had been extremely unprofitable we went over to explore the next best thing, and old Train car.

It turned out to be pretty interesting, especially since we were able to open up just about everything on it, and since, my two roommates, having no sense of limits decided to open up everything that they could find, leading to all sorts of interesting treasures, such as: garbage, pants, shoes, and things similar to that. After about a half hour or so of scrambling all over this locomotive, and Matt and Garrett going on and on about how much this was like being in Back to the Future III, we left our little discovery and headed for greener pastures near the south gate of the university. It was here that Matt and Garrett both found a new love, in one of the only patches of grass that exists in Jordan.
