I’m hiking for some astrophotography shots

Yes I’m bringing a light and a backup light

No, I’m not completely insane

      I went to one of my favorite trails

      Super remote and usually quite empty. I normally only see one to two other people on the trail per year.

      I learned today that wolves had come back to the area after not being there for decades. That was the wrong kind of excitement for the evening.

      Usually when I leave that early (4am) for a hike it takes days of prep to be able to get up early enough.

      The 4pm depart time though can be a bit fucky for time depending on the trail I head to. I didn’t set foot on the trail until about 7:30 and didn’t get home until about 3am.

      I got home at 3 basically because I learned on the trail that wolves had moved back into the area for the first time in decades. So my hike wasn’t as long or stress free as I would have liked.

      Good news is I got out only emotionally shaken not physically gnawed on.
