Another trip with Rockadoodledude. Only three cars in the lot when we started at 0715. Really nice light along the whole hike, but particularly in Garden Valley. Unfortunately, crappy new Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS5 camera was not dealing well with the light/dark contrast. On the other hand, crappy new Garmin 62S did not once attempt to get prison-friendly with me. :roll: Mike felt pretty chilly the first half of the hike, but I was enjoying the temps. :D It was getting warm by the end. A few more weeks of this, and I am heading up north to do my hiking in towns beginning with the letter P. After Hackberry Spring, took a right turn up to the saddle. It's steep, and slippery, but only a few hundred feet up. Same going down the south side of the saddle. The problem is not sand, nor rock, but sand *over* rock. No grip. And so I slipped, falling backwards, smashing my right forearm on a rock. :doh: Hurt like heck. Not broken; no blood. After yesterday's disasters, I did not want to add to the list. 8-[ No Haz stickers present in the main lot when we returned, :| but I did see a Minnesota plate, red Ford pickup. Jack that you? :)
