| no partners | | With the weather getting cooler and a Steeler night game, it was time for a Sunday morning hike with the family. This loop works very nicely, close to home, short but enough AEG to make it a decent workout.
The climb up tired out Radmila and Natasha. We took a break at the saddle but were accosted by gnats. On the way down we had some drama. First, Natasha had a cactus needle poke thru the sole of her boot. That took a few minutes to pull out. Then, a few hundred yards later, Radmila fell and hit her knee on a rock. It took a few minutes for her to assess that she could keep going. For a minute it was looking like we might have to cut it short, but after a rest, Radmila was ok.
After that, no other problems. The hike up the other side isn't as steep or rocky, which made things better. There were breezes at the saddles keeping it cool. Not too many people on the Pass Mountain Trail. Finished up without further incident and had a nice lunch at a local sports bar. |
