after hours and hours of driving the night before, we had intended to just take quick nap around 3-4AM and wake up at 5:30AM to start hiking in order to reach our 4 mile destination but we ended up sleeping right into the storm that pounded the roof of the car in the middle of the night. there was no way we were going to be able to survive hiking in the pitch dark in freezing weather in a heavy dump downpour... without hesitation, we made the chief decision of... sleeping in. i woke up after sunrise in the back of a SUV with a dude on each sides of me, uncomfortable af after sleeping on what felt like planks of wood (pause). we decided to just drive around and head back into the valley, grab lunch and cut out since the weather was so shitty but the more and more we drove, the better and better the weather conditions got. that feeling of completely losing track of time and chasing location after location cause the views just get better one after another...
