Last night, some friends and I went on a nice hike to the well known 'Living Room' that starts right by Red Butte Gardens. Well apparently, it was the night to go to the go. TONS of people were there, both going up and coming down and once up there, we were in on a party. Food, drinks, wine in pouches, these people knew how to do it.
Anyway, last night just so happened to be one of those nights where the sun and moon are in line with each other and as the sun was setting, the full moon was rising. It was really cool! But, this all came to our attention by a friendly man who said,
'Look! The moon is rising and the sun is setting! You can see them both! That is [expletive] amazing! Do you see that? That is [expletive] amazing!'
(It reminded me a little of the double rainbow youtube sensation)
This stirred all those in attendance to cheer and marvel at some of natures best. It was a joyous event made all the more enjoyable for those party goers due to their 'just a little more than juice' drinks. Oh the people you meet. From approximately 10 feet above, we, naturally, cheered right along. It was an awesome, communal moment. After the whoops and hollers died down, the expletively excited man then went on to explain the geometry (...that's what he said?) in how this phenomena happens. He was a very nice, earth loving guy.
After the sun set, we left the party attenders to do as they pleased and we headed back down and finished our pleasant hike before it got too dark. I hope in their circumstances, they all made it down alright too...
what does it meeeeeean???
