Nice cool & cloudy morning. Did the loop clockwise, my preferred way. Lots of bugs, especially once the sun came out on the last mile. Quite a few people out, but I guess that makes sense for a Friday. Saw a well nourished Speckled where Pyramid passes by the east of the ridge that Bursera is on. It never rattled, even when I got close for a picture, but it was watching me for sure. I think my limit right now for hiking in sandals is about 8 miles, the 10 from today was a little too much.
