A day of paintball@ Tigerland Paintball Park.... You pull off Hyway 97S and drive up the hill past the Chief Will-Yum Gas station and into the nicley kept Chief Will-Yum campground. You are met by the sight of smiling campers enjoying the Summer sun. You follow the road off to the right and into the bush along the freshly graded road. You pass through the bright orange Tigerland gate and across a cattle guard and a little farther down the road it suddenly opens up into the parking lot. As you park your vehicle you notice a quaint yet sturdy looking foot bridge spanning a small stream between you and the stagging area. You step out into the fresh forest air and take a deep breath and you feel all your stress melt away. Just then off in the distance you here the chatter of paintball markers in the midst of a furious exchange. Your body comes alive and you feel your adrenaline start to flow as you realize you will soon be in the midst of all the action paintball has to offer. You saunter accross the bridge and down into the saftey of the staging area. Being completly surrounded by the 12ft high netting leaves you feeling safe from the whizzing paintballs being fired in the closest field just outside the netting. You learn from the Smiling blonde woman at the counter that the field closest to you is called "The Ville" You watch as people run amongst the many buildings shooting from the windows and out of the doorways at their many opponents some hiding in the bush off to the side and some slowly creeping in amongst the small bunkers in the middle of the field. Have you ever played paintball befor? The blonde employee asks with a cheerful smile. "No this is my first time" You reply. "Awesome you are gonna have so much fun" she says gleefully. You soon learn her name Is Dorian and she is eager to answer many of your paintball related questions. Befor you know it you have filled out your waiver and are trying to choose a rental package.
