A post in GGD got me started on San Andreas again, and as I followed the links, I became more intrigued by all of the thing that have been said. A Rockstar Rep said there were 30 easter eggs in the state of San Andreas that are not found in the strategy guide, so I decided I'd go take a long around, see what I could dig up.

I start out in CJs house in Los Santos, run up to his bedroom grab a camera, run outside grab a ride and I'm off. I read about a place on the border of shady creeks, so I place my marker and head off. I escape the city and drive through a small farm, and already find something interesting; a tractor is rolling down a wheat field, but it has no driver. It stops rolling at the bottom of the field and upon closer evaluation, it appears to have blown up. I decided that it was a bit strange, but I should press on. Leaving the farm, I saw something else: A bloody body of a farmer. Lying in the middle of the of the wheat field. Of course the field is so high, so it would be impossible to see if I didn't almost drive over him. By now I'm starting to feel a bit creeped, but I press on to my desination.

Several cars later, I arrive at shady creeks, the supposed spawn of bigfoot. The anticipation is killing me, just to see what was around there. It's currently 13:00 game time and I'm on foot, walking around the end of the creek. Soon after, I see a strange brown thing in the distance, surrounded by trees. I quickly check my map to see what it is, and if it had a name, but to my dismay, it didn't show up. No matter, I ran up to the figure. A minute or so later, I realized it to be a log cabin, hidden by trees that only a sharp eye a could pick out. I opened up my map again, and put the cursor over where the cabin was supposed to be. This time it turned in Shady Cabin. Thrilled that I may have discovered something amazing, I run to the cabin and see if I can climb into the window and maybe uncover a secret. To my dismay, there is a gaping door. I brace myself wondering what this cabin could contain. Bigfoot? Pugsy? A hidden message? I walk into in and find nothing. Absolutely nothing, not even a chair. But I don't give up. I stand on top of the cabin, waiting for something to happen. Anything. I remain hopeful that something will happen. A chill runs down my spine as I reconize some of the trees: They were in all of the alledged big foot pictures. I remain hopeful to capturing a picture of the beast. Time passes and the game clock reached 23:40, suddenly, MOVEMENT! My heart starts pumping and I whip out my camera. 3 birds flutter from a tree. Nothing. My finger is getting sore on the R1 button as I wait for anything to pop out from behind a tree. Nothing. My heart is still pumping. Nothing happens.

The night turns into day and I wander south looking for clues, or anything that will give me the slightest bit of hope. I notice something strange about the trees in the area: they all seem to have some damage done to them. Several trees are missing bark at the bottom of them and other seem to be missing big pieces of them. I head east now, to the deviding river, and when I reach it, I find some peculiar. A police jeep in lying in the water, with two police officer dead beside it. An unmanned police boat floated a ways down from this. I notice a road beside it, the crusier probably just flipped over the edge. Probably. When I climb up the river bank, I notice something strange on the rocks: They seem to have little drawing on them of animals. One looks exactly like a deer, pointing a direction with a stick.

I carry on to my destination to the horse shoe like figures in the Back 'o Beyond. When I get there, I see something pretty common knowledge: Two beat up glendales rolling down hills. One blue one at the top, and a red one at the bottom. Upon my entering of the blue one, I got my first paranormal experience. I had just gotten into the car, when I was forced out. It was if a person that didn't exist had highjacked the glendale away from CJ. When I tried to reenter, the door was locked.

My final destination was the round lake just north of the hoseshoes. The lake looked very shallow, so I decided to drive my ATV through it. It wasn't. My ATV sunk to the bottom, but the strange thing was, I couldn't see it from the above water view. Only when the camera was under water did it appear. Did I just find something? Could there be something under here that wasn't available to the pass byers? The only thing I found was a school of jellyfish that I could not see about the water, thus confirming my idea. Nothing else was visible and I called it quits.

The point of this? Anticipation is half the fun. Or in this case, all the fun. I had many heart stopping moment even though nothing really important had happened.
