| partners | | | Planned hikes for the day had been mostly left open, so when Chumley mentioned this loop he had planned, it sounded good to me. Heading south out of camp, we hit Hills 1, 2, & 3. Hill 1 was a quick climb and a nice way to get the legs warmed up, Hill 2 was almost nonexistent, and Hill 3 was a good climb with some nice rocks at the top to sit on for a snack break. After that, we made our way to JD Cabin (we dubbed it Hantavirus Hotel and wouldn't step inside), where we took a lunch break, then past the gravesite. We ran into Oregon_Hiker shortly afterward, chatted with him for a minute, then continued on our loop, next through Sunflower Flat, then back towards camp. The clouds were building by that point, and we made it back just before the storm hit. Definitely a good thing Chumley cut the loop back from the original 18 miles he had planned. Tons of mosquitoes the entire way, and there was supposedly a large buck partway up Hill 3, but I never saw him. Good loop, and it was nice to see some new areas. |
