So I've gone past this like a bazillion times. Last night, just after I finished my last Heineken, I decided to hike Mt Ord. I saw the forecast(95 degrees) and thought maybe I should wait until winter. I decided to go for it. The hike is all on road. This hike was fine untill about 4 miles in. The bugs were well buggin me. Then another part, did you ever notice how a plane far in the distance sounds like a muffled growl. I didn't see the plane but heard the sound. I climbed on the fire tower but didn't go near the top. The hike out was hotttttt. I drank over 10 pounds of water. I will do this again when there is snow on the ground. Time includes 31 minutes of breaktime for pics,lunch, and snacks.
