| Myself and Courtney |
Last night, one of my nearest and dearest friends, Courtney, and I hiked up one of central California's best kept secrets: Fresno Dome. We hiked up with our sleeping bags, pillows, bananas and chocolate bars and watched the sun set oh so magnificently over the tree tops.
Shortly after, we made a small fire and watched the stars appear. We didn't say much, I mean, in the midst of all that beauty...what is there to say? More so, there is just time to marvel and reflect in the presence of a good friend.
Around 10 o'clock, two more near and dear showed up: Dillon and Alex. The marveling stopped and the party began as there was much feasting upon baked goods and pizza that Alex had brought up. This was followed by discussion and drifting off to sleep to the sound of wind drafts coming up from the valley and over the dome.

5:45 hit and it was time to wake up. The sun was rising, children! Nothing gets me more excited for a sunrise, so I woke everyone up...much to their dismay.However, they all enjoyed it in the end. Each on of us chose a spot on that glorious rock and sat and marveled once more in silence. Fresno Dome is perfect. It's an hour from Oakhurst, it's mostly left alone and you have a 360 view of lush green pines on the top. It really is magnificent and breathtaking and inspiring.

6:15, the sun rose up over the tree tops and clouds and the day began.
