| no partners | | | Had the day off yesterday so I headed up to the Pinaleno's for some cool air and trees. Started at the west end of the Cunningham Loop Trail and hiked the loop CW starting with the lower section then climbing to the upper trail to finish it. The Frye fire was hit and miss here with some parts BBQ'd and other parts perfect. Lower section was in great shape, a couple minor deadfall pieces to get around but nothing major. Quick bushwhack up to the upper trail (there was a faint trail here) where the dead fall was more numerous and the fire damage more severe, staying west of Grant Creek as was recommend by a previous triplog. After about 5 minutes of being on top, the sky opened up and started dumping pea size hail. Figures this happens the second I'm on top of the ridge with nothing but burnt sticks for coverage. Even though it was only pea size, getting hit in the face freaking hurt!! Nothing else to do but to keep moving and after about 15 minutes it let up. Problem was the air was so thick with humidity that it slowed me down a lot. Eventually made it back to the truck, checked out a couple TH's for future hikes and headed home. The Pinaleno's never disappoint and today was no exception. |
