Interesting adventure....

So last night. Me and some of my friends were hanging out, and at about 10 o'clock at night we decided it might be fun to go climb the Y. I thought it'd be fun since i've never climbed it before...and i figured it'd only take about 2 hours to do because that's what i've heard. so i wasn't too worried about getting home super late or anything...so i went along.

Turns out, though, none of us knew how to get to the start of the trail, so we parked in some random neighborhood and found what looked to be the start of the trail....(it definitely wasn't) after climbing for about an hour and realizing this definitely wasn't the trail i started getting worried about getting home late...(i had noteworthy reahearsal at 9 in the mng today).

Anyway...so we're walking on this random trail, and then FINALLY we find where the REAL trail start is....i was pretty much Extremely worn out at this point because i hadn't eaten much that day...i hadn't been home at all so i just didn't have time...so basically i felt like i was going to die...(it probably had something to do with the fact i never excercise as well...but we'll just blame it on the elevation ;) )

So we start climbing up the switchbacks to get to the Y...and i feel like i'm going to pass out...seriously it's like straight uphill...not my thing let me tell you. So after going through 3 of the switchbacks...and realizing that it's now 1 in the morning...i lost all excitement for seeing the Y...so me and my friend decided that we'd just sit and wait while the others went up to the Y...We waited there for about 45 minutes...it was insane.

THEN...we realized we had no idea how to get BACK to our car...we KIND OF knew the general direction of the car so we started walking that way...but then we couldn't find the trail we'd been walking on to get back to our car...so we just started making our own trail...oh man...i literally slid down half-way down the mountain. it was CRAZY! but FINALLY we found the trail again...and it was about 2:30 in the morning.

But by this point we were all STARVING because we'd basically hiked off all the food we'd eaten in the past 3 days haha. So we decided to go to Denny's. By the time i got home from Denny's it was 4:45 in the morning...and i still needed to shower because i was SO dirty from hiking and sliding down the mountain...so by the time i actually got to bed it was 5:15ish...meaning i had 3 hours until i had to be up for rehearsal...AHHH!!

I was so dead at rehearsal today, but oh well...it was definitely a fun adventure! Not sure i'd want to do it again, but it was fun :D

Moral of the story...make sure you know where the beginning of the trail is before you try to climb the Y.

Here are some pictures from our adventure.

this is the street we parked on...we were exciteed to be back! :D
