Looking down the steep path littered in damp leaves I focused on trying to figure out the best flip flop placement so as not to go sliding down the path. I was determined to find the James River.
"If you think going down this trail is bad, just think what a bitch it's going to be to get back up."
I knew as soon as those words left my mouth that we were having fun and this was a good trip. Despite the vanishing daylight and my less than rugged team of bandits*, spirits were high as we made our way to what we thought was Texas Beach. Rounding a tight curve at the bottom of the steep section we came upon a narrow bridge made of metal and covered in forest growth. No whispers of water over rock, I found myself intrigued and creeped out simultaneously. We continued forward stopping only to take pictures of the bridge.
No water in sight and the sun in serious set mode, we decided to turn back. We figured, at the very least, we had stumbled across a cool bridge and path for our movie**.
As July continues on, stay tuned for more tales of the Richmond 48 Hour Film Project!

**Did I mention the whole point of being in nature was part of our location scouting?
So glad Steven brought that allergy pill for me.
ReplyDeleteAnd the bridge was definitely creepy....especially when you saw the spider but I thought you had seen a person! SCARY!
Woooooooo! Scary movie! Love it.
