| | | Always a great way to celebrate the new year - Thanks, Pam, for organizing this event and bringing all the goodies. Knowing I would be one of the slower hikers I volunteered to carry a bottle of champagne to make sure there would be some left when I got to the top. I didn't notice that Pam slipped me the carbonated apple juice. Fortunately everyone waited for us slow pokes before starting the festivities. It was great to see some familiar faces and a whole bunch of new ones. The speedsters payed for their haste by getting severely chilled waiting for us on the peak. JJ looked like he was entering a hypothermic state but the sun broke through the clouds and provided relief.
I got a little off route on the way down entering a steep area with several pack rat middens. Those pesky critters managed to put cholla puff balls in almost every available hand and foot hold crevice. Not nice! Enjoyed a post hike chat with Outdoor Lover, Barrett, Charger55, desert-boonie and Widowmaker back at the parking lot. |
