On a stormy day on a hike after a shadeless day with sunburn causing heat. Diego Lacaros, Dylan love, stark heinrich, carlos(tour guide) and Barrett Backman all ran ahead of the group to unforgettable memories. It was a type of rain storm where in less than a minute you were dripping wet and could not do anything about it, but when some complained we embraced and lived it up. The fog and heavy shower motivated us to run and run uphill to the top of the crater and not releasing that we had reached the goal, we kept going. After 20 minutes of sprinting through the rain and muddy paths ran and ran. Till we heard a scream,it was Carlos our tour guide who chased us down and with brief anger there was laughter and joy as we made it back with the group.Along the way getting one of my favorite photos of the trip.
