We got to go on a hike with our adult daughter this past week. The hike is one that we first did as a family over 20 years ago. It ended up being one of our favorites; we call it the Sorenson's Peak - Burnt Draw loop. It's not an official trail but full of cool features: bouldering, cliffs, slot canyon, old cedar grove, a good cave with bats, and an Indian pictograph. Soon we'll start taking our grandkids on this hike as they are getting to the age that our kids were when we first hiked it. Full hiking video coming soon.
Today, we remember a legend.
On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.
Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.
He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.
Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.
Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸
