Throwback Thursday: Bonfire 2009

In 2009, I attended my first [and only] off-campus student bonfire.

It was a great experience I go to share with friends. It was cold as hell and we all had to bundle up and trek out to the middle of nowhere off of Old San Antonio Road. There had been a ton of rain that week, which was great on one hand [no burn ban], but it also makes it really muddy for everyone driving in and out of a huge grass pasture.

When we decided to head out after about an hour of enjoying the bonfire, we realized that my truck was stuck in the mud. I ended up steering while the others bounced/pushed the car out of the mud. When we finally got the truck out of the ruts in the mud, I had to keep driving slowly so we didn't get stuck in the mud again... therefore, everyone that was outside rocking/pushing the car had to run next to the car and hop in while the truck was moving. I bet it was a funny sight for those around. Since I haven't been back since, I guess you could say that the getting stuck in the mud experience has held me off from going back in fear that it would happen again. 

All together, the night was really fun... but an adventure to say the least! 

The Aggies played the Longhorns later that week.
Unfortunately, the Aggies "ran out of time" and lost to the Longhorns 49-39.
