On Top of the World!

Our group on Cadillac Mountain.
 On June 14, 2025, it felt neverending. The night before, we didn’t go to bed until 11pm, and only slept for a couple of hours before meeting Dale at 2:30am. This time, we piled into the minivan and queued up Hozier and Noah Kahan before starting our drive to Cadillac Mountain. We arrived at 3am because Dale said they would be open for astrophotography. However, they were not. So instead the six of us drove to Eagle Lake parking lot before listening to frog calls and owl hoots. We also danced in order to keep ourselves awake. By the time we got back to Cadillac Mountain, we had plenty of time to pick out a spot and set up our cameras/phones. Being first to see the sunrise in the United States is truly an experience everyone should have. Even though it was cloudy, the sky still lit up a beautiful orange and pink color. I also was able to interview a couple visitors for my feature story on Cadillac Mountain. I got lots of pictures I am happy with, and it was super worth waking up early for. The nap in the minivan after hit really good too!
