Tom and I grew up together. Our mums were pregnant at the same time. We were born a few days apart. They lived directly across the street. We hadn't seen each other since about 1972 and hooked up about 7 years ago - seeing each other once a year up until a couple of years ago. He finally came out to visit with his girlfriend. She was visiting and really wanted to see the mountains. We hiked Grotto Canyon and I took them up to Spray Lakes where Tom went in for swim.
