John Muir

I decided that I would see about booking a cabin for the first time and it just so happened to be Earth Day weekend. I got together with some of my best friends and we headed up the trail. Making it to the cabin just shortly after the sun set behind the mountains with a fire already started for us from some friends that went up earlier that day. It was the perfect day. The sky was super blue and without a cloud in the sky. Considering that they were calling for rain all weekend earlier. It was such a blessing to have such wonderful weather all weekend.

That evening, we had a wonderful time of cards, drinking, story telling and just talking for hours and hours. Time flew by, and before I knew it the sun was coming up. I can't tell you when the last time I stayed up all night. But I'm positive this was the most fun I've ever had staying up until dawn.

The sun came up through the windows and Aspen slept on my feet. She is definitely a cabin camping dog as apposed to a tent camping dog. I'm going to have to try and change that this summer however, as it is difficult and can become costly to book cabins.

The group booked it down the hill in search of fallen trees to use for fire wood and fresh water as we used up a lot while mixing drinks the night before. Once back some people thought it a good idea to take a quick cat nap. As for me, naps are usually out of the question so I read a little bit and then took it outside for a short little yoga session on the porch.

To be able to have such beautiful weather and an amazing view it put in perspective that we are extremely lucky to have a place such as this to enjoy nature all around us. I was at such peace up there, and with such excellent company to share it with. If only we could live in a moment forever. But alas, it is not possible and after another night of talking until dawn I began to wish the weekend would never end.

Back to civilization, back to what most would call the real world, back to work. All we can do know is hope that the next adventure will be just as grand.
