Seven hours on a sofa... mountain

Random story: you know how during the summers, we get the guys from BC coming over to sell fresh cherries out of their vans on the side of the highway?  You can always spot the handpainted red on white sandwich boards advertising "Fresh BC Cherries" on the shoulder of whatever random road.   So anyways, this weekend I spotted one of these signs, but had to do a double take.  Because instead of advertising cherries, it said "Fresh Oil".   I guess we have such a bumper crop of currently worthless black gold that we've resorted to hawking it on the side of a highway like a mobile fruit vendor now? 

Anyways... most people wouldn't believe me when I say I spent 7 hours on a sofa this past Saturday, but it's true. At 5:00am, I dragged my carcass out of bed and drove 3 hours down towards the US border to scramble up Sofa Mountain in Waterton Lakes National Park. It wasn't soft like your average living room couch, but the views were way more impressive. There were a couple fun rock walls and chimneys to climb up, a short burst of rain to make it more challenging, the summit beers were tasty, and we descended before the thunder started rolling in. I could think of worse ways to spend a Saturday.

I'm not taking a photo, but instead am using the Peakfinder app to figure out which mountains we're looking at.
And this is Peakfinder in action.
