| no partners | | Heather, Bob, and Mike joined me for a 10+ mile hike in MMRP which featured the South Wash.
Starting from the Four Peaks/Horse Staging Area, we went across the road to the competitive track lot and hiked part of the Technical Loop. We then used a service road to connect us with Stoneman/Pemberton Wash. A feeder wash took us to the Pemberton. We then made our way to the South Wash which we followed ESE, crossing the Long Loop once. We took the second intersection with the Long Loop north to return to the competitive track parking area. I learned the hard way that taking the first intersection results in a significantly longer hike back to the parking area.
We saw a barn owl while hiking South Wash. We also came across two mule deer sheds (antlers).
It was starting to get warm toward the end of our hike. With about half a mile to go, Bob said that he was feeling a bit dizzy. We stopped in what shade we could find so that he could eat a banana.
I brought two reservoirs (6L) today, but was having problems with the hose on one of them. It has some sort of leak that caused it to fill with air. When I sucked on it, I could - with enough sucking - get some water, but I mostly got gurgley air. I ended up using my back up reservoir for the hike. Thankfully, I didn't need more than 3L of water. (Though if I had, I could have either swapped hoses or transferred the water. The reservoir wasn't leaking.) |
