The road from Crete, IL to Crete, IL is scary

Backwoods....scary

I was at an overnight stay at a family members house because it rained really hard the night before and I was concerned about driving in the rain late at night....So, I get up the next morning and it has FLOODED terribly...water was everywhere, its was very frightening! Anyway...I had to leave because I was a host at my aunt's 25th wedding anniversary so I had to try to leave.



I get into my MUSTANG...note I capitalized Mustang because I knew when I drove up that my car was no match for all of that water, but nonetheless, I did the "dummy move" anyway....



My 12-year old cousin and I were driving through the back roads because the main roads were closed off...when I say secluded...OMG! It was secluded! I had no cell phone services!



I was literally driving on a tight road in the middle of a cornfield! I was lost! Didn't have a clue where I was going...I was waiting for that little boy in that movie, Children of the Corn to come out at any second....



Then...I find a road....so, I think...cool...a way out, then I approach a body of water, at first glance it looks like I can make it, but when I get close...the water is up to grill to my car, so I decide to back out....



As I'm sitting there cussing to myself, I look to my right and I see the tall, stringy-haired man with boots that came up over his knees, and a raincoat...he was soaked! When he saw me he stopped and stared…



People...he had an axe in his hand!



Needless to say I freaked the "eff" out! I tried to back out as fast I could....I then turned around and hauled ass outta there!



I looked in the rear-view mirror he was chopping something off that was in the yard...I felt embarrassed....lol
