I have been going through issues of not knowing anyone who is really willing to travel or do things I like to do. So my year goal was to do things on my own. I never thought this would happen and I almost didnt go.
I was re reading how to tell a good story by chase and how he decided to wonder into the night and it got me thinking. Why cant I do this, become more adventurous. Etc. So I planned to do a hike with some friends in the area but all six bailed last minute. I recently had sold everything of no use rented out a small room.in the basement of a buddies house. I bought a camera, a gopro, and things like a tent sleeping bag etc.
Since everyone bailed I was mad. Mostly at myself and started going off like really are you going to let this stop you? So I planned a trip to the sand dunes national park on my own. When the day came to actually do it. I started saying eh, I should just go next week this and that procrastinated. My buddy said dude dont go. I almost didnt, but I said fuck it its time to make a change so I packed my snowboard up my camping and camera gear and started the four hour trek down. Mostly nervous singing and beautiful scenery I drove off into tge sunset as it were.
I got to the dunes parled my car loaded everything up and started hiking. Let me tell you that 150 pounds of gear up 750 ft sand dune isnt fun at 8220 ft elevation every ten steps I was breathing for air. I made it to the top talked to a few boy scout and leaders on the short breaks to the top. Only to find at the top two sexy woman and a guy basking in the sun.
I walk near them and kind of look for a spot to set up camp. Going they will start a conversation, which they do.
Them"wow, a lot of stuff"
Me"haha, yea, wasnt easy getting it up here"
Them"you look tired you wanna hang out with us for a bit?"
Me"sure im a little hungry"
So I eat, they ask me questions and I tell them my stories sky my travels as they wonder why im all by myself and that you shouldnt put your bucket list on hold because of other people. They told me they were nurses and the dude was a engineer. The guy at this point started to get jealous and insecure as I started taking pictures of the scenery whi h came out absolutely amazing. The girls around me were looking asking me to take a few pictures of all of them in a scene. The one girl started to vlose off more and more but the one I was interested in was popping nipples in 100 degree weather. She was super turned on. So her and I started using my gopro and sand board and having fun. The dude got mad and said he will be back and startd to wander off inti the dunes farther and farther and the girls say man he is probably off soul searching again we have to go find him ugh. Cock blocked thanks bro!
So I tell the girls that my main reason was to come photograph the night sky. That they should join me on top to take some pictures and talk. They invited me to camp near them but their area was boring and stuck with come see me later that night. The closed off girl said hey good luck have a good trip, took my.number down while the other girl kept saying see you later. They never showed up which was predictable anyways as two of them didnt want to do it and if I only had a few more minutes to isolate the girl I wanted and talked her into coming up it would have been awesome. I figured tho, that since the one girl took my number down I would see if it would go somewhere down the road. Im still dealing with that issue from the damn stripper and, I didnt want it to escalate and run into problems! If anything I got some really awesome pictures, met two girls and was able to venture off into the world on my own.
Btw got scary as shit when the storm hit later that night and my tent was getting blown all.sorts of ways. Especially when they rangers said its rare but sometimes bears and mountain lions come creeping through. My tent swayed almost like something was trying to get in. However im alive and well! Great experience.
