Weirdest thing would be finding unexploded bombs from a long decommissioned Air Force bombing range turned into a State Forest. I had to sign waivers to enter the place.

Scariest thing was being stuck in the hardwoods while a tornado creating storm system come through. When I seen the black clouds and wall of rain sweeping as fast as a I have ever seen I knew this was no ordinary storm. Trees fell around me and I was hit by a small branch trying to run out towards a field in a compete panic. The rain was so hard and horizontal I couldn't open my eyes. At that point I remember taking shelter at the base of a large tree against the wind knowing that trying to move was too dangerous. I never felt so small in my life, knowing I was just a tiny piece of meat against the forces of nature was all I thought about as the storm swept across and moved on. I caught acute bronchitis from breathing that cold air mixed with rain when I tried running for it.
