| no partners | | Finally some spare time and cool weather to get out. Headed up the Pyramid trail in the afternoon. It was overcast with a light breeze. It has rained earlier in the day and then clears up. Perfect for hiking. I could see some weather to the south, but I hope to get to the top and back before it got to close. But the line of darkness kept coming closer as I climbed. By the time I got a little past half way to the top it was getting quite dark. I stopped to check the weather app on my phone and saw lightning within 10 miles of my position and decided to turn back. Saw rainbows as I started down.
When I got off the hill and reached the flat I saw I lightning bolt strike the ground and counted to five before the thunder. About a half mile or so from the trail head it started raining. It went from a light sprinkle to a hard rain very quickly. After a couple minutes the trail became a river of brown muddy water. I got completely soaked as I tried back through the rain. When I finally was close enough to see my car in the parking lot a big bright lighting bolt struck the ground on the other side of Chandler and the thunder was immediately after the flash. I was very glad to get my very wet self in the car.
Aside from the disappointment of not getting to the top and getting totally soaked it was an otherwise nice hike. |
