Getting up before the sun is always tough, but getting up before the sun while on vacation is borderline crazy. Cussing myself out the whole time, I took the drive to Pisgah National Forest well before any normal person on a Saturday morning should be up. Trying to find the perfect spot was interesting enough, but once the sun started making its debut, my jaw dropped and I almost forgot the reason I had come up there. It's clear to see, after I got my shots, my attitude did an instant 180.
