We passed one trailhead, and came to a second at the end of the road, where we chose to start hiking. It was toasty along the ridge, but tree cover soon brought relief. I marveled at the grey limestone bedrock (I find sedimentary rocks fascinating. Stupid, I know.) The scenery and views only got better, ultimately becoming a "wildflower island in the sky" experience.
The return hike was quick, and we made it back to the truck at dusk. Careening down the Carr Canyon Road in the dark, my headlights suddenly landed on some freak walking in the middle of the road with a laptop in his arms. Whuh? Saw one deer too. A visit to Wenchys, a pass though a border patrol checkpoint, and we were headed home.
