Summer weather is still here (funny now to see my hike 4+ weeks ago in the near freezing rain, and I guess it snowed in California yesterday). It is Wednesday which means C gets out of school early and I have the afternoon ‘off’. The objective was Mount Defiance. Did not make it. Ran out of time and energy. Short by 1,000 feet elevation and 1+ mile….but it was a pretty day and it does not count against you when you exercise hard in mountain forests.
A few pictures:
And some silly video from the old Flip.
8.2 miles in 4 hours. Prolonged endorphins.
