| no partners | | First 1/2 mile had a lot of deadfall across the trail and it was a little slow going with all the tree hopping. Trail then cleared up and it was a nice stroll through the forest and up to the saddle. Continued up the switchbacks waiting to run into the red squirrel refugium sign but never found it. My GPS showed me that I had definitely crossed the boundary so I turned around and headed back. I did find a hole in the middle of the trail where it looked like a sign may have been? On the way back down I hiked out to the overlook and spent about a 1/2 hour enjoying the spectacular views of the valley below!
This was to be the first of several hikes I had planned this weekend on a overnight trip that quickly went bad! On the drive out my truck all the sudden wanted to pull right and I knew what that meant - Flat tire! I spent about an hour changing tires with the help of 2 very nice people who stopped to help. I continued down the road on my way to Riggs Lake when once again my truck started to pull left. Another @#$%^&* flat tire, I could not believe it! Another nice person stopped to help and he had a can of fix-a-flat which got the tire inflated. I had no choice but to call this trip over and drove back down the mountain on one spare tire and another one full of fix-a-flat. I was on pins & needles the whole drive back but both tires held up and got me back home! |
