Because they were already there .Because they did n't want to get sun burn .Because that 's where the party was .Because it was a cold day .
Why were they sitting in the shade ?
We made it to the top , had a quick snack , take a couple of pics then headed back down . It was only then that we realized that the folks that had gone down already were sitting in the shade and drinking ice cold beer ! HEY WAIT A MINUTE ! ! !
