Monday, 17th of January

Today we woke up and it was more or less a free for all day. I spent the morning working on Maxim and my nebula. At around 11am, my Grandma Barb and Jon came and picked me up for lunch.

 We went to a local mexican restaurant. It was very good with some fish tacos. After some good conversation, I returned to the hotel and Ian, Justin, DA, Eric, and myself put on our hiking gear and headed out to another park for some more hiking. I was keepin' up for awhile but Ian and I decided to stay back and take it slow so we could get some great pictures of the Park and enjoy the scenic views. We hiked for around 4-ish hours. On our way back we saw someone blow out a tire, it was crazy. That night the whole group ordered some wings and we watched a great documentary by PBS about the 20th century and the progress of telescope making and the development about what we knew about the universe. It was very interesting!
