| partners | | | Took advantage of the cooler weather today to do my first hike in the Supes this season as it's been 5ish months since it's been cool enough for me to hike the Supes. The original plan was to hike the Miners Needle Loop with Andy and his son Johnny, however, I had the flu last week which turned into Bronchitis, which I thought I had kicked but today it told me nope. Started off hiking up cardiac hill, which always sucks, lol. As we got into Barks Canyon I was really struggling with getting air into my lungs, but I pushed on. Hiked up to the ridge near the Terrapin Junction and I made the decision to call it as I was struggling to much to breathe. I wanted Andy and Johnny to complete the loop so they pressed on. I hung out up on the ridge for a bit, enjoying the nice breeze then headed back down into Barks. I briefly thought about taking Barks Canyon all the way down to the Dutchman, but after about a half mile of that, my lungs said no, so I continued back up Bluff Springs trail back to the TH where Andy and Johnny had just gotten back. Didn't complete the loop like I wanted but was able to get a short hike in none the less. Not a drop of water anywhere, everything is completely dead and dry, but was still awesome to get my first hike of the season out there. |
