I stayed with the group, 75 members by the ranger’s count, and there was another group of 75 that went before us, because the stories were interesting. But I punked out after an hour. Sooo many people.
Here’s a good time to note that the weather was totally, utterly, spectacular, exactly the way I like. It was cool, crisp, bright, and I loved it as would anyone, and hence the unspeakable crowds. Plus it was the last week of school break so that added to the excitement.
