And it's really beautiful.

Dome and lower pines yesterday and while Jordan was reading outside he met some
PC tears and they said they loved our van and then they left us this nice
little note this morning because we let them stay in our camp and we thought
there were only two of them but there were actually six of them hello friends
thank you so much for letting us crash your wonderful camping spot we slept
like babies and no Rangers woke us up in the middle of the night to call us
vagrants please enjoy your new lifestyle in your van it's the best way to live
and you are going to learn so much every day you ever need a tip or a shower and
friends in Western North Carolina hit us up Grayson Tina and then it's a thank
you Grayson Tina Crusher Darren Caitlin Ezra hashtag er er thanks guys the view
is beautiful as always be very careful on this hello yeah very oh wow it's
beautiful nice all right here we are on top of
Bishop's Terrace what is called the one of the best five eights in the valley
out here in Yosemite you know a couple pitch climb 5a pretty sweet cracks in
there you can see down the valley for the world cap is so pretty sweet you can
see down to the ground over there pretty good stuff out here seven fun doing some
good cracks we head up to the 12 a meadows do some alpine climbs all right
so one of Kristen's childhood dreams is to get the dino eggs oatmeal but put
every single sugar egg into one packet of oatmeal so we now dumped out ten
packets of eggs into one pack of oatmeal we're about to pour the water in and see
her consume 80 grams of sugar for breakfast sugar best breakfast and we
have a deal she has to eat every single egg so where we go hiking today she's
finishing all the eggs I really hope she throws up on the trail in front of all
these families your childhood dream come true maybe this is why parents don't let
kids do this
