We were way back in the woods. My brother thought it would be funny to read Deliverance at camp. We had just cleaned after dinner when he came up from the lake, having washed our dinner dishes, saying "there's two guys coming in a canoe".

They were hammered, smoking and drinking beer, and reeked of b.o.

They started poking around our camp rudely and making remarks that were vaguely menacing.

Eventually, my father was able to convince them he'd been fishing at this lake since he was a boy and dropped a few names in a non-boasting way.

They left but it was freaky for a bit. I figure they had an outdoor grow op. It was a week or two from harvest time.
