The Burden of Efficiency

Steve has been trying to drag a group to Squamish (his happy place) practically every weekend since late July. Weather has not cooperated. It's always beautiful during the week and rainy on the weekend. Time was running out.

The forecast for this past weekend was great until Wednesday. Then the rain was predicted to come in Sunday. Red Alert. We have to leave Thursday.... by 5:30!

Eeek! That's my long day! I don't usually get out of work until 6 or 7!
Enter Gina, Chuck, and Aida to save the day. A little luck and a lot of help from those guys and I made a hasty exit at exactly 4:35. Home by 4:50. Stuff in truck 4:55. Wendy's at 5:05 and in front of Josh and Shelly's at 5:15 on the nose! Phew. (Noone does efficiency like Cell Processing. Holla.)

Anyway. Josh, Steve, Sue, and I stuff our stuff in the new Subaru. Those things hold alot of shit! We have to be at the campground by 10:00. The efficiency must continue. But we do get a surprise stop at DQ. Cookie dough blizzard made with chocolate ice cream....mmmm!
Make it through the crossing. But we each have to tell the agent what we do for a living. WTF.

At the campground at 10:05. Nice.
