2018 I was above tree line in unit 74 CO, hiked in at Andrews Lake. My partner had shot a really nice muley and we decided he would be able to get the meat down to camp by himself on two trips and I would keep looking for elk. I went up top to the base of Needles 2 peak and walked around glassing the basin to the south west we had just seen elk in the day before. I started to eat lunch on a rock, enjoying the warmth of early September. I heard a rumble to the south west and a nasty black cloud was running right at me. I was probably close to 1.2 mile from the nearest tree. I made it to the tree line as strikes were happening all around me. I should have just hunkered down underneath a boulder instead of the trees.
I would be lying if I told you I wasn't scared. I was scared beyond life. I texted my wife goodbye actually. Not ashamed to admit it. Not fun.
