| no partners | | Came thru Equestrian to get to Warpaint. Turning a corner, blinded by the sun, I hit a javelina. Whoops. I think it was fine, it limped off towards the park. At first I thought my bumper hit it, but now I think it was my tire.
Breezy. Made a loop of Old Man - Midlife Crisis - Young Man, using Desert Classic, Guadalupe Perimeter, and some other mumbo jumbo to tie it together. I don’t hike east on Guadalupe Ridge very often, so I had to pay a little more attention to the route in a few places thru the boulders.
Didn’t see many hikers until I was back on Desert Classic. Two young women were near the water tank off Kachina and were looking for Fat Mans Pass. I gave them the bad news, and quickly determined they didn’t know any directions, east vs west meant nothing to them. I suggested they just walk Desert Classic for a bit, then turn around. No need to get ambitious. They then asked where I got my nails done. Um, I haven’t gotten a manicure in at least ten years, so no good answer for you there, sorry.
Very windy for the final mile. Nice loop, except for the Desert Classic part. Packed out one mylar balloon. |
