Title: Lion Scouts Summary: Steven, Connie, and their four kids go hiking in the North Wydaho wilderness. Word Count: 513

A tiny, wee bit late, but here it is! For Glow Week day 6, I used the prompt "Vacation."

The short is also beneath the cut:

“You know, almost fifteen years ago, your mother and I hiked down this very same trail!” Steven beamed from beside his wife. A gargantuan bag containing an assortment of survival gear rested against his back.

“Yeah? Well it’s boring,” Lisa moaned from over her parents’ shoulders. Her arms were firmly crossed as she paced alongside Lion. “There’s just a bunch of trees and squirrels. If I wanted to see those, I could go into our backyard.”

“I think the trail’s beautiful,” the girl’s younger brother, Gregory, twinkled from behind her. He yanked his yellow-red, hand-me-down ukulele off his back. “I’m getting so much inspiration for my next song,” he grinned before strumming a chord on his instrument.

“If you start singing, I think I’m gonna puke,” the boy’s twin sister, Priya, shivered from his left side. “I already hear enough singing at home; I don’t need to hear any more on vacation,” she snorted, elbowing her brother in his abdomen.

“I think some music would be great right about now,” Grace, the eldest sibling, yawned from atop Lion’s back. “I’m normally all for a good hike, but”—she quirked an eyebrow—”middle-of-nowhere North Wydaho?” She darted her eyes around her surroundings; her most exciting observation was a mossy rock. She tittered, “What are we doing out here?”

“Taking a stroll down memory lane,” Steven sing-songed.

“This was one of your father’s favorite stops on his three-year-long road trip,” Connie lectured as she readjusted her scabbard’s strap. She reminisced, “During my first spring break from college, I joined him out here for a whole week.” She booted a sizable stone from the path. “It was…” she smiled timidly, “romantic.”

“Barf!” Lisa mock-gagged; her siblings all snickered.

The family made their way into a miniature, grassy clearing from which a plethora of nearby landmarks could be made out. Chief among them was a moderately sized, vaguely-heart-shaped lake.

“It’s just as I remember it!” Steven gasped. “Kids, this was our camping spot! We slept here every night for seven days straight!” He sprinted to a nearby boulder which he lifted effortlessly with one arm; beneath it, a pair of familiar initials were carved, encased in a crudely drawn heart. “See? We marked it as ours and everything!”

“Woah, cool,” Grace remarked.

Steven pointed toward a small stream. “That’s where your mother and I searched for crayfish.” He tapped his foot atop a small collection of ovular stones. “Here’s where we made dinner every night.” He whipped around, nearly causing his backpack to topple. “And over there”—he pointed in the direction of a respectable mound—”was where we helped a group of marmots dig a new burrow after a badger destroyed their old one!”

“Badgers are rad,” Lisa smirked. “Should’a let it keep the burrow.”

Swiveling on his heel once more, Steven took immediate notice of the heart-shaped lake in the near distance; he went starry-eyed. “Oh my stars!” he squealed, bouncing on his knees. “Connie, Connie, look! It’s the lake where we—”

The woman slapped a palm over her husband’s mouth. “Not around the kids!”

Day 17: hydration is key!! 🌞🌞 Crushed 11 miles of the most beautiful ridge line this morning! This trail starts in Wyoming and ends in Idaho and for the entire hike we saw not a single other soul besides some squirrels. Absolutely lovely trail time, covered in sweat, dirt, and the great outdoors! #happyhiking #wydaho (at Targhee National Forest)

Cooler breezes, yellow-ish foliage, and the smoke from all the fires seems to be clearing a little - maybe fall is on its way? Super fun morning at @grandtargheeresort with Barbara and @erinmcfarlane8! Thank you ladies for being the most fun and awesome bike crew ever! #grandtarghee #wydaho #mtb #singletrack #dirtsisters #yaybikes (at Grand Targhee Resort)

Tetons from Idaho

Let’s be honest. Racism is the main reason Republicans oppose DC statehood. The District is majority non-white. If a similar number of unrepresented US citizens were in an entity made up of majority whites wedged between Idaho and Wyoming, Republicans would be howling nonstop for statehood for “Wydaho”.

Republicans are resorting to asinine and idiotic arguments even by their own awfully low standards.

Heritage Foundation scholar Zack Smith sagely argued that D.C. residents already enjoy ample representation because members of Congress have to look at yard signs posted by its residents as they drive to work:

[ ... ]

Nobody would ever suggest that posting yard signs near the legislature is an adequate substitute for democratic representation, if they cared at all about the rights of the people involved. And this is why Republicans usually tire of inventing pseudo-principled reasons and immediately reduce the question to simple partisanship: By insisting Democrats only care about partisan gain, they absolve themselves of any need to respect any democratic principle.

Obviously those yard signs in DC had no effect on Republican members of both chambers of Congress during the past four years They increasingly made excuses for Trump’s totalitarianism and continued to give huge tax breaks to billionaires.
