A Short time ago in a campground not too far away... ok, so it's not the most dramatic introduction, but at least it's a start- Leroy's mom, Leroy's dad, and Leroy [oh, and his little brother Georgie] were spending a week at Woopdedoo Camp Grounds somewhere in California.
They did all the things that a normal, middle- class, nature loving family does on a camping trip: Walk nature walks, eat marshmellows and hot dogs over hibachi stoves, pick wild berries that they saw in their handy field manual, and sing Kumbaya around the fire that they couldn't start because dad forgot the matches and they couldn't buy any more because town was three hours away and it was dangerous driving in the dark and... but anyways.
These activities were all fun and made you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, but Leroy was 12 years old and found more satisfaction in hunting down dead skunks near the ABANDONED MILITARY BUNKER,which his parents disapproved of vehemently.
As luck would have it, today's narure walk was right around the base of the huge concrete citadel- they were going to "observe" the Lady Slippers (for those of you who don't know, or care, what these are, they are little flowers) which grew along the outside of its walls.
Leroy, being the inpetuous upstart that he was, meandered off the path and, who would have guessed it, found his way into the decaying structure.
2. Run around in circles like an idiot singing Kumbaya really loudly.
3. Walk across the SHAKEY WOODEN BOARD that leads to a door on the other side.
