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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



and YES! the light weight ended up getting sick



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.

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

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.
