Tranquility Tour, Seattle.

Hello, this is Kimberly, and I'm here with a lovely group of ladies and the lovely Tim.

Hello, everybody.

And we are recording from Ballard, Seattle, Washington, United States of America. And we're excited to be here today. That was really funny. We're in the room before we started recording. We think we're really funny. We're not. Yeah. So what's happened in the past week since our, oh, we ran out of oil. Well, no, let's back up. Okay. We entered, we left Calgary. We left Calgary. So we were in Canada, a country with a functioning federal government. Which is lovely. Which is funny. And open national parks. An open national parks, which is kind of cool. And then, let's see, we spent three days in. Lake Louise, campground. Bampf National Park, which was my first time, but not yours.

And we put up tons of pictures. So if you guys saw the pictures, is everybody in here? Did you guys see the pictures? Has anyone been here to Lake Louise? Anyone in here? You guys are so close. You know, part of it is because they happen to have two of the great national parks. I guess they do. Within stone's throat distance. It's kind of really pretty here already.

Yeah, it's not so bad if it was open.

But soon we hear. have two of the great national parks. I guess they do. Within stone throat distance. Yeah, it's kind of really pretty here already.

Yeah, it's not so bad if it was open. But soon, we hear soon. We hear good things. You can still see it. Yeah, yeah. From afar. So, yeah, so we were up there for three days. We did some camping and Lily was great and it was 25 degrees at night. So we were, it was, it got chilly and, but, um, we had campfires. We had campfires.

And we got bear spray. Okay, let's talk about your unreasonable fear of bears. Scared to death. Like, I wouldn't leave the camper for like two days. She wouldn't even shower. Like, for real. Like, their shower was like. It's too cold and scary. Like, 30 second one. There's open doors. They do all sorts of things. It's like... They had... Okay, so here's what they do. I feel like that they've... They like to scare people who are easily scared by bears, like my beautiful girlfriend, Kimberly. So, you know, at the entrance to our campground, they show this,

this horrifically, violently torn apart cooler, and it says, cooler is not bear-proof. Really,

thank you, Banff. And that just, like, sent her off even more. So we go, and then we go to

the, what I will now call the bear spray store, which was, you know, just like a camping store,

right? So it is in their economic interest to sell bear spray. So I'm thinking, okay, here we go. And to be fair, she was actually pretty reasonably level-headed, you know, but then she was like, yeah, I go on the trails around here quite a bit. And yeah, you see Bear Scout right there. And I was just like, oh, God, here we go.

Bear Scat.

So I figured we were going to be like, you know, hearing bear stories from Kimberly all along. But we did, we had the option to rent, you know, just for our little walk. But Kimberly chose to buy. And we smuggled it into the United States, which I think is illegal. But I'm not possible. I can't ask if we had bear spray. So I will choose.

I will choose to believe that it was technically illegal.

It's our secret.

I believe it is illegal in the state of Washington to have bear spray, but you know, you won't talk about it on a live podcast or anything. It's like a little fire extinguisher is what it looks like. And whenever I was last up in that area, like 16 years ago, the big thing was bear bells, right? So you like wore a little jingle bell and it kept the bears away.

Apparently that didn't do so well because now they have area like 16 years ago, the big thing was bear bells, right? So you like wore a little jingle

bell and it kept the bears away. Apparently that didn't do so well because now they have this

crazy $40, it's $40 for this little canister that lasts 10 blasts or 10 seconds, seven blasts, something.

I don't know. But apparently it keeps the grizzlies at bay. It's like pepper spray. It's like the craziest pepper spray. If I got out of the camper to walk Louie like just around the camper, I took my bear spray. I'm the rare instance when she actually left the camper. It was, I mean, it's like, I get it. I mean, there are bears there. Don't get me wrong. You know. And grizzlies, which are like big. But she was like in death, death afraid that walking out that door. And like when I would go out, I'd be just like, okay, I'll see you in a few minutes. Be careful. Like I was going to get eaten by a bear. And so, of course, you know, I'm going to the restroom and I'm coming back and I'm like shining my light unreasonably all through the bushes going, what am I doing? There's no bear here.
