It's been almost a year since my first and only summit of Battleship Mountain. It felt just as magical today, especially with the outstanding company. Thanks, Denny and Bruce for putting that together!

As with every Bruce and Joe hike I've been on, there is always a little more. I threw out a Marsh Valley loop. That turned out to be a "be careful what you wish for" event for me. My stomach went sideways on me not long after we passed through La Barge Box. azdesertfather lightened my load, allowing me to get my wobbly legs back under me before the run up to Bull Pass. I do appreciate that, Dave!

In spite of my woes, this was a terrific hike. The majesty of Battleship Mountain followed by the incredible beauty of La Barge Canyon. My only regret was slowing everyone down so much. Thanks for picking me up, guys.
