21-February 2020 to 23-February 2020: Sure enough, when we got to the Bear Gulch Nature Center, given all the delays that Julie induced on the way here, it turned out that the car in front of us took the very last parking spot.

I was very upset by all the delays that led up to this with her nonchalance at my sense of urgency at getting to the park in time.

So after the initial disappointment at the prospect of having to drive back to the visitor center to park and take the shuttle and the associated delays with that, I then thought on my feet and decided that I was going to solo the loop hike while Julie could stay behind and stay with the car while parked illegally or at least move around the lot until she could get a better and more legitimate spot…
