A Night with Ursus Americanus
I attempted not to gasp loudly for air, realizing I had been depriving myself in an effort to breathe softly in the silence of the wilderness.

Two big and wonderful things happened on June 25th, 2015. The first was scoring a first-come first-serve campsite at Camp 4 in Yosemite. The second was the real icing; while waiting in line for camping, I checked my email (since I now enthusiastically had service) and voila! A notification confirming that I had won the daily lottery to hike Half Dome the next day.
