Sanitas Valley

Phase 1: Sanitas Valley. The biggest challenge is in finding a parking spot; or more accurately, remaining patient while finished hikers decide whether to vacate their parking spots. Here’s what they do instead:

• Gaze fondly at their parked car.

• Practice drawing a Tesla logo in the gravel.

• Plug the car into portable solar panels.

• Enjoy a leisurely snack.

• Re-apply SPF-1000 sunscreen.

• Check email.

• Read the newspaper.

• Post their hike video to YouTube.

• Plug the phone into portable solar panels.

• Feed and water the dog.

• Play frisbee with the dog.

• Make reservations at their favorite restaurant.

• Wipe off the SPF-1000 and apply SPF-15.

• Time how long it takes a waiting car to circle the parking lot.

• Calculate the CO2 emissions of all the waiting cars.

• Discuss the yield of their home solar panels.

• Load the dog into the car.

• Load the dog bowl into the car.

• Unload the dog bowl and empty out the water.

• Load the empty dog bowl into the car.

• Unplug the phone.

• Unplug the car.

• Deposit the biodegradable snack wrapper into the recycle bin.

• Gaze fondly at their parked car.
