The Lost Village...

 Let me set the scene...
You are walking through the woods, in search of a bird. A little bush-whacking may be taking place. Going off trail, if you will (heh heh). Up ahead you see a clearing.  After having worked in the National Forest in California and having to keep an eye out for mobile meth labs and pot plantations, coming across an unexpected clearing honestly put me a little on edge. Seriously. Who knows what goes on in the forests of Nicaragua. Just sayin. 

 But then I saw all of these little adobe-esque buildings...




Something awesome?? Some ancient abandoned home site. Well maybe not ancient but historic? Eh? That would be cool. I mean, it's not even on the map which must mean SOMETHING. 





Turns out it is slightly less cool and certainly less historic. 









A village built for solely paintball....


Yeah, that's right. I said it. Paintball in the cloud forest. 
"Unfortunately" it didn't pan out and so the village and paintball-team-building dreams were abandoned. Sigh.... :-P



I'm ok with that. AND since it's not on the trail map, not too many wayward tourists find it, making it a swell hiding place when you need to avoid the crowds, or just people in general.
