Golden Gate

A couple weeks ago on a Sunday we were planning on doing a little wine tasting at Total Beverage and then heading up to the mountains for the afternoon. So we get to the wine tasting and try about 2-3 wines and it starts pouring rain and then hailing and we are outside under tents. Not much protection. After talking to a couple friends that were planning on going to the mountains with us, we find out that there were also tornado warnings and we were just outside standing in a tent oblivious to it.

It rained for about 30-45 minutes. We decided to try going up to the mountains even though the skies were still dark and cloudy, except for one little little spot towards the mountains. So Clint Gavin, Kara, Simon and I, followed by Ben and Tonya start driving up. I get a text from Tonya saying doesn't it look pretty bad up there. I call her and let her know we still want to go up if nothing else for the drive. And we keep seeing this tiny clear spot in the sky, and Ben even says that's maybe there's were we are going. So we drive and get up into the mountains and the skies are as clear as can be, it hadn't even rained up in Golden Gate Canyon. We were so glad we went despite the awful storms and rain we had seen. We had an awesome time playing Frisbee golf, cards, talking around the fire, making s'mores and just hanging out.

It's late so hopefully that made some sense.

Gavin and Ben kept playing a game where they would rub their hands together and pull them from the fire and yell that's hot.

Looking for the Frisbee.

I was trying to get Gavin to let me take some pictures, he wouldn't corporate.
