Wanting to hike the south road to Guthrie Peak, and to catch the flower show one more time before they vanished, I drove up highway 191 late on a toasty Sunday afternoon. The flowers were amazing, but they are definitely on the wane. Along the hike, I saw two friendly horses in a corral, a rabbit, and a huge centipede. I reached the peak at dusk, then made the return hike by flashlight, enjoying the starry sky and music from my ipod. :D

Back at my truck, I realized I had lost a basket from my new hiking poles. So up the road again I went, this time driving, looking for it. Parked near the summit of Guthrie, bagged the summit again, then drove back down. I never did find the basket, I just wasted an hour of driving. Oh well. It was a great hike!
