Sunrise
I had a day...
The big plan was get up at 4am and go to Norse Peak and arrive at sunup, however I awoke at 2am and couldn't sleep so, 'why don't I go get sunrise at Sunrise?' Out the door at 2:45, drivers headlight blows at 2:48... I'm not stopping, sorry for the highbeams folks. Arrive at Sunrise and my boot is loose, I tie it, it's still loose. Broken shoe string, there goes Norse Peak. Now I realize I'm not going to make Dege Peak in time and set up quickly above Sunrise Visitors center and the camera does that weird won't focus thing that I sent it back for and they couldn't repeat. While I (played) with that I can see stars and the mountaineers headlamps on the mountain but by the time the camera behaves its too late. lights out, stars gone....
It's a couple hours drive for me to get to the East side of the mountain so I'm wandering around dragging my laceless boot when suddenly THIS happens. I didn't expect it with the blah sky, but all was not lost. :-)
