Sometimes in life... your day, your “journey” is ruined by adversity by your own mistakes and sometimes just because time is unfair

You couldnt go to a Hot Spring, You missed a wonderful view, you walked so far away and perhaps staying at home was the real answer, many things can get you down...

But you keep going... keep going because you’re already there so what more are you gonna lose, at least reach the end and say “I was here until the end”

And then all of the sudden...

You discover a new beauty, a new angle, a new way to think!

You can even fix (or try to diminish) your previous errors or the previous injustice done to you, and with enough determination? You can still enjoy your trip.

... you know what? 

Mmmm... feel weird reading “super awesome” as a description by Rin... but is more because you dont think she would say this out lou, in reality this is totally normal... something to think of later...

THE FINAL STRETCH! And after a nice calmed scene with music and gorgeous imagery Rin finally reached her destination, and she is really happy, I’m also happy fo--

...

The girls were checking to have lunch at the Hot springs place but the remembered if they do they can have a camping lunch, the hot spring is out to get them

For important reference: this dude didnt move at all while they were talking and then 3 seconds extra before...

... tempting them with a snack...

And she is making pasta... and my favorite kind of food IS pasta... oh no....

Wait really? Huh... you can get almost whatever life lesson you can out of anime and cartoons, but literal practical stuff like this is an oddity that I quite enjoy.

I mean, I know that the anime is about camping so they bring camping advice in general... but is still surprising to see and I really appreciate it.

A woman on a mission: to show her gf something beautiful (also by herself since the extras... sorry girls is the truth... are sleeping)

So Nadeshiko sent Rin a beautiful photo of the city at night, a nice sight of beauty and--

OH GOD WE ALL KNOW WHAT’S COMING AND NONE OF US ARE READY!

... I was gonna make a joke about how this girls make me feel... but I cant right now because I need to make something clear:

I STARTED CRYING THANKS TO THIS WHOLE SCENE! THE SECOND NADESHIKO PUT THE FIRST PHOTO I FELT TEARS THEN WATCHING RIN GO UP THE HILL SHE EARLIER HAD HER EPIPHANY OF KEEP ON GOING AND THEN THE PHOTO ABOVE I TOOK IT WHILE BAWLING BECAUSE THIS IS SO BAUTIFUL AND PURE AND THE MUSIC AND THE BACKGROUNDS ANDSJKNQWNQVRIRVJKNEFVN KEJN VKV 

DO PICTURES IN REAL LIFE EXIST ANYMORE!?!?!?!?!?

(yes I heard they got “printed” its still surprising)

OH! Proof of the places conquered by the outdoors club! I like it!

(also Chiaki what the h is with that photo in the upper middle? xD)

Maybe I’m getting ahead of myself... but after this small montage of the girls enjoying the campfire and all... time to address the duality of this story.

From one point we have Rin, taking a long journey as a camping veteran to enjoy herself away from home and seeing something she wouldnt be able to do in the sites she frequents. Her calm moments are not looking at her, but looking at the beautiful scenery she witnesses

From the other point we have Nadeshiko, Aoi and Chiaki. Camping “newbies” having their first “serious” outdoors activity. It’s not that far from home and the situation is simple. They get provided water and firewood and for the most part? Feels like a fmily roadtrip taking stops to eat at everyplace, enjoying the hotspring and by the end chatting about life and enjoying the campfire. Their calm moments are their interactions

Which side is having more fun? 

THAT’S THE WRONG QUESTION!

The real question is “which side would you like to live”? And there’s no wrong answer my friends... both campings are valid, both groups are having fun, both are perfectly valid options to take.
