Luckily Wally warned us of the stinging nettle in the first quarter mile. Just as I was relieved to be out of the nettle mine field I realized it was being choked out by a more vicious beast, large leaf poison ivy.

Pants would be wise. Somehow I didn't get torn to shreds by the fair amount of wicked red raspberry.

We didn't see another soul. Bummer. Guess all the people haters are on the popular trails.

Does anyone know the correct location for Knoles Hole Spring?

I'm still a fan of descending Murphy Ranch Trail #141. It does need fallen tree maintenance. If you look at it on satellite it looks bleak. Must be a February shot when the oaks have no leaves because it's not bleak on trail.

This was my first time heading over to the overlook. I enjoyed the hike over if not more than the overlook. While it was warmer than up on Reynolds there was more of a breeze being on the edge of the rim. The views change and Cold Spring Canyon is a gem. Edwards Spring is "nice". Surprisingly I had cell service on my cheapie plan.

The Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth dad is getting old, he was complaining about kids these days and their music...lol

Consumed 2.5 liters, Chris knocked out 7.5 and ran out with 2 miles to go.
