but there's all these cabins that were built, you know, for the ski resort, but then the ski resort shut down and a lot of the cabins got demolished.

Nobody really kept them or they were sold off or whatever, but there was a few that kept their cabin on these old abandoned mountains.

And there's really like very little in the way of public service that goes up there.

So the roads get all nasty and stuff, but it was a cool to be living on the side of the mountain.

But anyhow, um, we had a trip to, to go up there planned.

And, uh,

sort of out of left field, Nick's father passed away.

Honestly, I think it was a heart attack, but it was very abrupt.

And when we would go to this trip, this annual trip up to this cabin, it was always me, Wolf,

Nick and then Nick's mom and dad.

And they were like this perfect couple.

You know, they loved each other so much.

They were so much fun to be around, just like the most motherly, fatherly group.

And they loved that cabin, especially the dad.

The dad, I don't think he built it, but he was like always, you know, he was very handy fixing it up.

You know, he's a man's man, rugged guy.

And so when I found out that Nick's dad had died,

you know, I really didn't care about the ski trip, snowboard trip.

I'm like, of course, we're not doing that.

You know, how could we?
