We almost died

I love to explore. If I see a hill or mountain around and we're not doing anything else I will really want to at least try to climb it. When I lived on Overlea Drive in North York I went with various people climbing down this huge hill through a forest. We also had snuck down the side of a huge bridge over Leaside Park. When I lived on Wynford Drive with Dan, three friends trekked down with me into the Don Ravine as well.

When J and I went down we started to walk along the GO train tracks. On these bridges there are spaces where you can stand safely if a train were to pass. We figured that if a train was coming we would definitely hear it before it got too close. Unfortunately we weren't versed in train sounds I suppose. A GO train came around a bend in the track at full speed and we didn't hear it until it came into view. We were about half way down this bridge. Instead of trusting the little "spot" on the bridge we turned and ran back. It's not exactly clear on this picture but there isn't much on the side of the tracks. It's about a 3 foot drop into dense growth. We ran to the end of this bridge and threw ourselves down over the edge of the tracks.

Yeah we were pretty dumb that day...
