<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

There's this great place about an hour and a half away from where I live called Whiteoak Canyon. There's a natural waterslide that goes into a deep pool of freezing water from snow at the top of the mountains, with cliffs you can jump off from 20-40 feet high into the water. 

My MMA instructor who also goes to my church was talking to my friends (Cole and Braden) and I about this place, and he invited us to go along with his family and another family. We meet at his house at 9 and head out. 

Being only 16 years old, my friends and I can legally only drive one other person in the car with us. We didn't want to risk getting pulled over, so we took two cars. Cole and Braden drove in one car and I took Cole's little brother. The other two families took their own cars. 

After about half an hour of driving, I miss a turn. I call Cole and get back on track, but I'm still about two minutes behind them. He tells me to just catch up so I can just follow him from then on. I start speeding up to about 75 on a 55 and make progress. About thirty seconds later I see a cop and slow the fuck down. I thought he might not have seen me as I kept driving for another thirty seconds and I think I'm free, but when I see those blue lights in my rear view mirror I know I'm fucked. I get written up for a $175 ticket for going 19 over. 

After my first run-in with the police in my life and the first moments of life with a criminal record, I try calling Cole to tell him what happened and ask him to stop. But then I lose service. I have no idea where I'm going, but I just keep driving and think I'll figure it out. 

Three hours later, having asked for directions six times, I finally make it to the canyon. My friend's brother and I hike up and meet the rest of the group AS THEY'RE FUCKING LEAVING. When I tell them what happened they just laugh it off, no apologies for leaving me behind or condolences for my criminal offense.
<bot>: I got a $175 speeding ticket, got lost for three hours, and only got to cliff jump twice. Also I got my driving privileges taken away by my parents as soon as I got home
