I just graduated high school. I've been stuck in this tiny town for too long. I'm going on a cross-country trip and never coming back. I might write my parents a post card some time. Whatever, I can't wait to be staying under the stars.

Speaker 1
I'm just camping at the moment. Can't wait for the stars tonight. Hello!
Speaker 2
I like to camp! I also go hiking a lot..
Speaker 1
Nice. I just finished high school. Left my small hamlet behind. Never going back.
Speaker 2
What kind of person are you. I am kind, caring and and hopeful for group equality!
Speaker 1
That's cool. I'm a loner, shy. I'm on a cross country journey. Looking for jobs.
Speaker 2
So, I assume your an adult. Do you vote? I don't!
Speaker 1
No I don't care about voting. I may send my parents a post card. Not sure.
Speaker 2
Would you write one to my neighbor john? I love him!
Speaker 1
Sure what should it say.
Speaker 2
I wish for group equality!
Speaker 1
To your neighbour john? You love him... But it will just say group equality?
Speaker 2
Yes, I also want him to know I do not choose to vote.

Speaker 1
I set up a hammock at my camp site. 
Speaker 2
I love hammocks and have one in my backyard.  The problem is that my dog loves it more than me and I can never get to it before him!
Speaker 1
He's hogging the hamock? Adorable LOL, wish I had a fun pet too
Speaker 2
He hogs everything.  In my house, the pecking order is children, dog, and then me.  I guess that's why I like hiking so much, I don't have to compete with anyone when out on the trail.
Speaker 1
Haha what, aren't you all about equality? It's kind of you to let them ahead lol Where do you hike?
Speaker 2
The Columbia Trail runs fairly close to my home.  I like it there and it is not usually crowded.  Have you ever been there?
Speaker 1
I haven't but it sounds lovely. Maybe I'll see if I can do a camping and hiking trip there sometime. 
Speaker 2
It is really nice.  If you decide to do it, let me know...my favorite part is Ken Lockwood Gorge near High Bridge.  
Speaker 1
Will do and thanks for the tip! Hopefully I can find a job soon and buy some new camping gear
Speaker 2
If you are looking for new gear, my lovely neighbor John is looking to sell his.  He bought it last year, top of the line stuff and needs to sell it because he's getting divorced.  Let me know if you want me to speak to him about it.
Speaker 1
Oh that's awesome, sure would you ask him if he has a hammock for sale? mine broke, and i like napping int he forest looking up at the stars
Speaker 2
Will do, I'll ask him if he knows anyone how is looking to hire also.

Speaker 1
I applied to work at a grocery store. 
Speaker 2
Oh good! Is it the local market or another one?
Speaker 1
It's the one by the hiking trail. Then I could go for hikes after work. 
Speaker 2
That's a great store. I think you'll like working there. My friend worked there for a while and she loved the people. And that's a great trail, too. 
Speaker 1
I was thinking of getting a cheap hammock and just leaving it along the river, set up, so anyone can use it. Then I wouldn't have to carry it each time I go. Do you think that would be okay?
Speaker 2
Sure, if you don't mind not being able to use it every time you hike! Hopefully no one else would steal it. 
Speaker 1
I don't think many people know about the spot. It's a hidden path off of the main hiking trail. It's a great primitive camping spot too. I think anyone who stumbled upon it might deserve it, I wouldn't consider it stealing.
Speaker 2
Well cool then! Are you going to use the money you make at the store to buy the hammock?
Speaker 1
Yes, but I will not buy the hammock from the store I am trying to work at. I'll buy the hammock online, probably some cheap Chinese one that I won't mind losing. 
Speaker 2
That makes sense to me! Say, do you want to meet up and go for a walk or a hike sometime? It's been a while.
Speaker 1
Yeah that sounds awesome! I still have the, ahem, you-know-whats, from last time!
Speaker 2
Haha, that's hilarious. Bring them along if you want! There's nothing like a good piece of camping equipment, after all.

Speaker 1
Would you still like to go for a hike this weekend? I want to check out that trail. 
Speaker 2
I think that would be great! Do I need to bring anything along?
Speaker 1
Make sure you bring enough water, that's most important. We could also have a picnic at the top of the mountain if you want.
Speaker 2
That's a good idea. I have a feeling I'll need to recharge my energy supply at some point! I'm not in tip-top hiking shape haha.
Speaker 1
Haha, well we all have to start somewhere. I can bring us some sandwiches and fruit. What type of sandwiches do you like?
Speaker 2
If the store has any of those veggie sandwiches, that would be awesome! I can grab some water, too. By the way, were you able to get a hammock?
Speaker 1
They should have some of those. No problem. Yes, I finally got it - I love it! You have a hammock too, right?
Speaker 2
Yes, that's right! It's not really portable, unfortunately. Will you bring yours along on the hike?
Speaker 1
I thought about bringing it but I don't want the extra weight in my bag. I don't think it's worth it. There is a lake there too, btw. Do you want to swim?
Speaker 2
Oh sweet, that sounds fantastic! Yeah, I'll definitely bring my swimsuit along! 
Speaker 1
It should be fun, but the water can we really cold. Have you ever swum in really cold water before?
Speaker 2
A few times, yes. Usually when the season has just changed and the water hasn't caught up. It can be quite refreshing!

I go camping and hiking sometimes. I need new camping gear. I applied to work at a grocery store. We have a hike planned for this weekend and i'm looking forward to it. our hike will be on a mountain. I bought a hammock. I also like swimming.

I have a hammock too, but it's not very portable. I like swimming. I have experience swimming in very cold water, and found it refreshing.
Speaker 1
the grocery store contacted me to offer me the job I had applied for.
Speaker 2
Oh, that's good news; what position did you apply for?
Speaker 1
A shift lead position. Not a ton of money, but I love the location of the store and everyone seems really nice. I'm excited! What have you been doing for work?
Speaker 2
Well, I'm actually in between jobs right now. I have however been helping my neighbor John with some side projects to make some cash; to be honest, he pays more than if I had an actual job. lol
Speaker 1
Yeah, that's not bad. And then it's under the table, so you don't have to pay the taxes on it, so that's a win when you don't have a lot of money coming in. Is there something you'd really like to do career-wise? 
Speaker 2
I was thinking maybe something to do with the park system, maybe like a guide or something like that. I'd like that, but realistically, who knows.
Speaker 1
That sounds wonderful! You'd get to just be out in nature all day. Sounds like a great job, especially if you're a bit introverted like me. That's why hiking is my favorite -- a good solitary activity. 
Speaker 2
Yes, I agree. What kind of hours would this new job have?
Speaker 1
It's third shift, which isn't the greatest, but it pays a bit more than the other shifts, and I think I'll like getting off early in the morning. Then I can just go down and get in my hammock and have a nice relaxing moment after work. 
Speaker 2
Would you feel safe being out there all alone, possibly falling asleep? That just sounds a bit risky.
Speaker 1
Yeah, you know the area it's in. It's pretty safe, but I'm also a light sleeper. Thank you for your concern though. You are a good friend.
Speaker 2
Well, let me know about our hike. What time works for you?
