LindaAnn

I met Linda at Telegraph trailhead for an 8am start. That worked out pretty good as the morning rain was done by then. Not to crowded on the way up. We got to the road and headed up to the rock house on National for a quick break. The guard rail had a couple broken posts and yellow tape. possible from yesterday's tragedy.

We had clouds most of the morning which was great for the shade and views! A few flowers here and there with Lupine being the top producer. The Burseras looked good and the mountain sides were a nice green. Over to Goat hill then down Ranger and across Las Lomitas. As we approached Kiwanis for our last climb Linda hit the ground. I rushed over to help and she screamed get away I need a professional!

. Turns out she had spotted the firefighters up on the hill above Kiwanis and wanted them to use their expertise to help her!!

Ok, I may have made that last part up.

. The sun came out as we went up Kiwanis then hid again as we went down Telegraph. A very nice outing with great weather, trail, views, and company! Thanks Linda! Like HAZ, you rock!!
