It had been about 8 years since I hiked with SuperDave. Funny we were going to meet Chums but we almost went off the road twice and had another truck almost slide into us. So we ended up with an awesome plan B of Cheops Pyramid instead of a dico party at the beach. As I write this, its been more then a day to reflect on the good,and the bad of this hike. Mostly good until I pulled a muscle. Thanks Chums for the ace bandage. I can't believe its Feb and I've hiked with Chums 3 times already. He was my first hiking partner on HAZ back almost 16 years ago :).

The shoreline was different from 2 years ago because there was less water then this years heavy rainfall. I'm glad I missed some of the shoreline when I headed up a drainage to the road. I rejoined the guys shortly after. The hike to Lime was uneventfull. The ridge was as fun as I remembered. My first frustum in many years, but you always remember your first which was in the Mazzies. The hike up to Sunset was eventfull. I had several cactus puncture my soles which sucked. My muscle pull gradually bothered me to the point where it needed attention but no massage therapist was present. Dave said I was just looking for attention after he sat on a cactus. The ridge down was relatively good except for my mood. We took a break at the creek and headed down. I headed up and found a great track looking down on the narrows. I downclimbed to about 50 feet and had to head back up and eventually found a safe route down. I kept dry for awhile then it wasnt worth the effort. All in all a great day. The good was way better than the bad. Thanks chums for driving. Dave good to hike with you again after a long time.
