| no partners | | Perseid es Meteor Shower, two nights at Hanging Gardens was the plan. Nine of us rapped in via Meadow Canyon (the GPS route was from our Thur night car camp to the first rappel). It sprinkled on us Friday and a whole bunch on SAT.
I got poison ivy 2 years ago in WCC but nothing last year. When we saw the "leaves the three" one of the hike partners said, "ehh, that aint poison, its not shiny". Wrong. I got poison ivy, everywhere. Had to hit Urgent care for a Predno prescription. Leaves of three, let it be. In Meadow Canyon, the ivy is before the first rap on the west side of the drainage and approaching the second rap, again along the west side of the drainage. Most of the exposed Ivy is along the south side of WCC west of the HG and is not easily avoidable. There are some pockets on the trail east of the HG as well.
Explored above and around the gardens.
Got to eat a platter of steamed craw dads. Will do that again.
Added some things to our kitchen cache. We ate like kings.
One hike partner proposed to his gal and she said yes. He went to Hanging Gardens. Congrats.
Clouds did not allow any viewing of shooting stars. 
On the way out, saw a family of coatimundi.
My Chevy Suburban is officially a Range Rover recovery vehicle.
Towed the Rover on that crap road 3 miles back to 260. |
