Friday, 14th of January

We came down from the mountain today. After we finished working around 4:30am, we slept in until around noon. Then, sleepily, all packed up and piled into the car and van. It was bittersweet. I had such a high from working with the telescopes, but night shifts are rough to adjust to. Anyways, after we made it back down the mountain and back to the hotel, I took a nice long shower. We hadn't been able to really wash up on Mt. Bigelow due to water conservation. So it felt great to finally be clean again. Then we got dressed and went to dinner at a nice Mexican restaurant with Mrs. Staubitz, who sponsors Carthage physics and with our trip to Mt. Bigelow/Arizona. A shout out to her for being great and a super nice lady! It was kind of a short day, afterwards we looked at more Jupiter images we had captured the night before and stacked some. Not soon after we all were knocked out from a tiring trip on the Mountain.
