FREE SLURPEE TRIP REPORT

[marc olivares]

after hearing rumors of an alleged "FREE" slurpee give away at seven eleven, i decided to go take a look for myself

the approach to the doorway was long and hot

i read the sign carefully, but was still skeptical, it was just to good to be true!!!

i entered the door and there they were, all waiting for new life and a new home

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1407/780066024_b8d544f652.jpg

i carefully selected a cup and gently pulled on the life giving lever

i could hardly hold back my joy, just seconds after it...it's first breath

a quick family photo, and we were on our way

here he is at the front door of his new home

we sat on the deck for a bit and decided it was a nice day for a hike

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1060/779192139_928c6f45dc.jpg

it was hot out, but he had a nice hat to keep the sun out of his face

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1070/779192577_7bec617d32.jpg

not wanting to fall, we fastened a sling to each other.

we got to our first rappel and since he says he's a better climber than i,
we decided to use him as an anchor,
he kept giving me crap about my biner block though

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1115/779195405_02d9cf4e8f.jpg

shortly after the rappel, i'll be damned if we didnt find yet another bird stuck in the canyon

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1331/780069638_0530c1574c.jpg

like the hero that he is, he saved that bird!

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1011/779194039_4c55a7d094.jpg

we found a shady spot under a tree, and he sang me a song

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1288/779193409_b8968459c6.jpg

then we shared a beer,
but the little bastard kept sneaking shots from his flask

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1268/779194393_085388aae9.jpg

and YES! the light weight ended up getting sick

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1251/779194771_d33262723b.jpg

so i carried his sorry ass home and put him to bed.
nighty night little camper!

Dude, that is the best TR I've read in a while. How long did it take you? Was there any flood danger? Are campfires still banned near the Slurpee machines?

Thanks.

[marc olivares]

if my wife finds out i spent my day doing this and not working on the deck... i'm soooo dead! :haha:

I think this post is officially my all-time favorite post here on uutah. I demand an encore!

[DirkHammergate]

Marc, me and the boys hit the 7-11 on Highland and about 29th South, that looks like the same one. We all did Cherry and Coke, yum.... then my 7 year old told me later when Mom picked them up they hit it again.

Funny TR.

I find the part about Marc will do just about anything to avoid working on the deck to be the most amusing....

Yes I know it's bad form to revive a thread linked from another thread that has been dead for years, but this one is totally worth it and I will take the penalty.
