but—

I wish I was joking.

Meet Lake Alvin, a recreation area outside of my hometown. This place is so so pretty, and my friends and I would come here often to be one with nature, but there is a farm nearby with cows, and sometimes their bowel movements plague the area with a cloud of stank.

Despite the horrific odors, the land is beautiful, the stars shine bright at night, and it’s one of our favorite places to just be.
