When I was in high school when it was nice out we would go to the lake or rock climbing and on the way we would always have Blind Melon, Oasis and Tom Petty playing. I know it sounds like we were a bunch of potheads, but we didn't smoke. It was those times at the lake playing frisbee or just hiking that we had the most fun. It was the mid-nineties and we would party like rockstars on the weekends, but it is these day trips that I remember and love to reminise about.
