Friday night should have just been a chill night after the hike. Enter Guil and Alison who were looking for something to do. I let em know that "Dinky's got Geisha House tonight if you wanna go..." (In reality, I was fucking dead tired and was ready to pass out.) But Guil's hardly up here to visit so I make the most out of any visit. Then some of Alison's crew came along and I brought out Brian and James to make the night even more random and fun.
I got a free drink ticket from Dink. Then a drink from Guil. Then a drink from Eden and Kathy. Then a drink from a random table. And then another drink. Toss in a few free shots from the pre- and post-party. I don't think I've ever gotten so many free drinks in my life without it being my birthday! Thank you everyone haha.
I thought I was pretty sober, but as I looked through the pictures, I don't remember very much after midnight... The tell-tale sign of a good night!
For some reason, I'm in a lot of these pictures which never happens in Brian's posts. I feel honored(???)
stupid fun random friday night...
(...obviously i'm referring to last week's events as i'm just sitting at home right now typing for my blog and eating fruit snacks.) headed over to orange to meet with peeps and hit up geisha house since guil was in town and dinky was promoting. combination of new friends, one super strong drink, and somebody stealing and going trigger crazy with my camera made for an extremely entertaining evening. only posting the well-lit/non-blurry shots she could provide...
I was still feeling the pain from this Friday evening hike going into Tuesday. Partially because it was more difficult than the San Dimas one, but moreso because of the major incline and decline that we jogged up and down. Russel's been dying to go on more hikes these days, especially with some extra personal time. DerrickDinky has Fridays off. Mark literally got home as we were walking out. Squad up.
We headed out to Crystal Cove. We were fighting the clock because when the suns down (hence some jogging). 5.5 miles completed in about 1.5 hours. Not bad.
What do these 2 have in common?
GORILLA FEET.
Check these bad boys out. I think I need a pair of these...
Aww this doesn't look so bad.
With every bend around the hill however we kept finding more incline.
Forkage.
I marked our route in red. Once again, looks simple enough.
While Mark figured our path out, it was a good chance to take a break.
And off we go!
And another fork.
This downhill jog was super killer on the quads.
And then we began our upward ascent.
Looks like we have plenty of sunlight left.
Gravelly.
We made it to the top!
Stretch break before we begin the descent.
And the sun quickly setting...
Fuck... we still have 1.5 miles to go from here...
The Wolf shirt will lead the way. +10 HP as well.
Moon.
And... we made it back to the car!
Dinnertime!
But it's Friday during Lent. No meat. Veggie burrito. Boo.
