We did our shot of whiskey. Let's cool down. But I could not. I could not leave my partner's side. I was right there the entire time, just kind of following him, which isn't like me at all. I'm usually like, oh, I'll go down to the bear hang. I'll hang it. I'll throw the bear hang over the pole and hang all the food and help you find firewood. You go that way. I'll go this way.

But I could not do that. And it was so overwhelming to the point that I made him go to the bathroom with me in the privy because I was like, do not leave me alone. I cannot be alone right now. Which, thank God, great guy. Absolutely did it. No question. And, you know, we just were hanging out at that point. And this is the thing is that the sun goes down like three o'clock up there in that time.

So you do not have a lot of daylight. You got to get your firewood. Then you got to have your flashlights ready to go. So the sun kind of started setting and we decided to start a fire. So we started a fire after we ate dinner. We're just kind of hanging out there.

And this is funny because I really don't tell this a lot when I talk to my family and friends about this, because it just all felt like too much. But that first night we did have something strange happen to us, which I, You know, we were just kind of hanging out at the shelter. You know, you're not really talking.

You're just chilling out, enjoying the whole essence of the area, trying to alleviate stress from back home, you know, everything going on with COVID-19. And as we're sitting in front of the fire, we started to hear this sound that sounded like children screaming. And...
