A Dinner Date

I had an idea it might be nice to go for dinner, so I called a friend our conversation wet like this:

FN2: "Hello"
Me: "Hi how are you?"
FN2: "Oh, hey, I am glad you called, I was thinking about you, and..."
I interrupt, time is wasting away and I cut to the chase,
Me "You want to go out for dinner with me tonight?"
Now you can probably imagine she is thinking maybe a nice Italian restaurant, maybe Mexican, perhaps just a local pub,
FN2: "Yes I would, what were you thinking"
"YES!", I think, this is going to be great,
Me: " I thought, I would make a couple sandwiches and we could run out Ripple Rock Trail, have dinner overlooking the Ocean"
The phone line is silent, I imagine she is so excited she can't speak, she however,
FN2: "Ah, tonight? Isn't there snow? And wont it be dark soon?"
Me: "Ya probably a bit of snow at the start, but we should be thro....."
She cuts me off mid sentence, I am positive she can hear the enthusiasm in my voice and is already gathering a bit of gear,
FN2: "NO, no I don't want to go to dinner with you are you effin crazy?"
Me: "Bu it is only 4km each way and I will make us NICE sandwiches"
Sometime mid sentence she hung up.
"Hum" I think, ok I'll call FN3, perhaps she would like to go for dinner with me.
FN3: "Hi Dan" (she has call display) "what's up"
Me: "Want to run out Ripple Rock Trail and have dinner sandwiches out there with me tonight?"
Fn3: "No, goodbye"
And so it is, another "adventure dinner" alone, me and my dinner sandwich for two.


There was snow, but just a bit, but it was frozen like ice!
Can you find the trail?
Me, and my sandwich admiring the lights of Campbell River off in the distance!
