It was the end of the trail. Also known as the “halfway point” or the first leg of the hike. Half the fun is over, or is it? In this case, on the way up, the skies were fairly overcast. Things could only get better right? They did. On the return, eventually the sun did come out a bit, which was fantastic. If only it would have come out sooner. Can’t win em all. Always have to make the most of the weather you are dealt. Without the blue skies to assist, the experience on the way up felt kinda surreal, like hiking on mars or another planet, or something like that anyways. Maybe someday we will be able to hike on another planet, probably not in my lifetime though..
