4th of July

This 4th of July, Cory and I did Discover Outdoors Hike, Swim and BBQ. It's great for us city folk, for a small fee it pays for a guide, lunch/beer, and the van ride out to the mountain and back. 


Cory and I wore our matching T-Shirts which were great ice breakers for our group (14 of us total including me and Cory). 

Since it was on Independence Day our guide Simon also had us go around and say what we were thankful for. We all said standard things except one of the older women on the trip, she said she was thankful she was able to marry her partner of some crazy amount of years.

 That really made me think, this older lady must have had people say awful things to her and all she wanted to do was marry someone who she loved. It made me think of a great Louis CK quote about gay marriage:


Anyways, It was very sweet because her partner was there and it made it that much more special.

We hiked Bearfort Mountain to Surprise Lake, (which got it's name because it's ontop of a mountain and that's very rare). It was a 5 mile hike almost straight up, Cory and I were so sweaty it was ridiculous.
