Story time 

Approach - glorious, cool weather. Flowers everywhere. Jasper is so happy.
hit the top of bear and shocked myself on the summit marker…uh oh 
start down west ridge and thunder is rumbling continuously 
hit tree line and the lightning starts, thought I was lucky at this point 
At the green bear junction it starts hailing. Hard. Big boys too, we’re not talking dip n dots, we’re talking blueberries. 
Gets so rowdy, Jasper and I take cover under a tree. It’s gotta stop soon. 15 minutes later, it’s not stopping. Lightning seems to be getting worse. I’m getting cold, even with the sweetest Jaspy cuddles. We start running again. 
A mile later I go to take my air pod out and put it back in my case. No case. Try to check Find My, no service. Run all the way back to our bunker tree, no dice. Can barely feel my hands. Try to check find my again, no dice. Say f it, we’re in the Chappell Roan nightmare addition Cold to Go, gotta get out of here.
Thankfully the hail stops but the ground looks like cottage cheese. Get to bottom of bear canyon and finally have service. Check Find My…my AirPod case is on the top of bear peak. 

you just gotta laugh so you don’t cry.
