How Does This Happen?

Yesterday we stopped in at Hyatt Lake Resort for breakfast, and as soon as we finished that, walked to the other side of the resort to a different restaurant and had lunch (we have raging appetites).

At breakfast two older couples sat at the table next to us and we got to talking about this and that and later part ways.

The next day we stop at Fish Lake Resort, again for breakfast, but this time no lunch (I know we're really roughing it out here). Four of us hiked in, three hiked out. The one guy Flippy ended up taking a shower and doing laundry so we just took off.

He's a fast hiker so we expected he'd catch us in a few hours, but it wasn't until after 8:00pm that he rolls into camp, and as always, Flippy has a story.

The two couples from Hyatt Lake spotted Flippy on the road, picked him up and drove him back to the trail, talked with him for a long damn time and then gave him the access code to their gated community so that we can go to their condo and have cocktails with them.

"Access code to their gated comunity?"
"Yes, access code to their gated comunity."

I mean honestly, who's ever heard of anyting like that? Needless to say we'll be stopping in for a few harvey wallbangers.
