A nice loop hike on relatively well maintained trails out of the Toms Thumb trailhead. It was a Saturday so the main parking lot was full and the overflow lots were about 2/3 full. Lots of people to chat with on the steep ascent up the Tom's Thumb trail and most were passing me even though I was setting a fairly good pace (for me). A young women was charging up the trail with her male friend lagging behind. I told her "You're kicking his pumpkin" as she passed by. Need to learn to keep my mouth shut but it turned out OK. She just smiled while he blurted out an excuse "We don't have hills in Texas". The crowd thinned out once I started down the East End Trail and only saw a few hikers and several mountain bikers until getting to the Marcus Landslide trail.
