Bobby Rocket Feet agreed to my last minute plan and met me at Picketpost at 7:45. BrunoP lead the way with Blanco and Cup just slightly more apprehensive in the absence of their dear leader. We made the short detour up to Picket Mill for a quick swim and some hydration.

I was happy to see that Telegraph and Arnett are full of brilliant color, the highlight of the day. The trip from Arboretum Tank back to the TH was much shorter than I had anticipated, and we were back at the car by 11:15. BrunoP found random things to bark at while we enjoyed some leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and sweet potatoes along with a delicious beer before heading our separate ways.

The bottom of Telegraph and the easternmost mile of Arnett are approaching peak. Beautiful colors in there. The rest of the hike is drab desert.
