Got started a little after 1630. Trailhead wasn’t too full. Some kids were upset I wouldn’t let them pet Harlow. She doesn’t like for strangers to pet her, and for some reason, she doesn’t care for blond people. I have no idea why. Then a lady didn’t like my shirt. She must not appreciate a good ribeye. Passed an acquaintance from when our kids were younger, but she didn’t say hi. I didn’t see anyone else after that.

Hot as we ascended Ruins. Nice breeze on National as we headed east. A bit of a nice sunset, but the color was brief. Came down Lost Ranch Mine. Peeked into one of the big mines to see if the bats were flying around. First, I had looked at the ground to make sure there were no rattling surprises, and when I looked up, there were a bunch of bats flying straight at ne. I screamed like a wimp and jumped back, but got a picture of one of them. Easy walk back to the truck after that, but still warm.
