This morning I woke up in Grand Junction, which was another unexpected and pleasant surprise. I was practically driving through there on my way to Vernal, so I asked Brian if he wanted to grab dinner. It turned into pizza and ice cream and game night and crashing at his place with his roommates, Adam and Amanda (who I have done canyons with before).
I got an early start to Vernal because I had something important to do today. One of my dear friends passed away suddenly last week. I couldn't be at Sarah's funeral today, so I went to one of the most beautiful places I know and had my own little service for her.
It was harder than I thought it would be. I mean, I knew I would feel sad. But actually acknowledging that she is gone was really hard. It was hard to begin what I had planned and even harder to end. I still just can't believe that one of the four of us is gone.
Rachel, Sarah, me, and Nina- Tripod and Tabletop. Oh, and that's our friend Steph on the end. :)
There's this little spot in the Uinta'a called Dodd's Hollow that I swear is magic. If fairies existed, they would live here. I spent some time here after my little service for Sarah.
My parents and their friend Dave arrived late afternoon, and we had an awesome dinner at Vernal Brewing Company. Tomorrow we will explore Dinosaur National Monument!
