Berms eroding away... trail not near so dusty, slick... best footing in years! Ross and Luster did the up and down. Probably my favorite trail!

Yubao managed his 12,000' day... and was in rough shape towards the end... the Heat! nice to see him score the day and his 48 miler earlier this week.

Would have scored a 26 mile day, but decided to show Heart Attack Canyon to Karen and Yubao... even though we only did one loop, it hit me hard. Aspens not yet turning, but color in some of the hardwoods. Yubao harvested 3 pecks of mushrooms along the trail, along with lots of antelope bones (skull, spine, hips today...)

Karen was amazed at how steep Heart Attack was... fell once... nice that she had her trekking poles for the descent.

So.. I guess progress is being made?

Note: Rim Trail has been rerouted. It now moves around Atkinson Meadows instead of through them... and does not connect to the Forest Roads in that area. It winds around and over, not allowing the motorcycles to have any access around the Meadows area. It is a major improvement.

Fun day...

trail too wet, so just did a single loop. One nice slip and fall... next time, remember to bring along the poles! Unchip and I enjoyed a nice picnic sitting above the 100' waterfall over in upper Caballero Canyon... checked out the potentials for hiking that off trail route. It looks nice.

Closing out 5th week... includes a nice, steep 14 mile hike with 8,000' of up and down... so, halfway to the goal of a 16,000' day mid August. Maybe I'll get there!

single day effort improved over last week... 5400' up from 3400' last week. No bear sightings this week but a nice bear print in the meadow yesterday morning. Temps in the 60's; great for the hikes and bikes.

I'm camped out on the mountain for the summer... getting out most days. This first week has kicked my butt, being totally out of shape and not used to the elevation. Hardest day was today doing 14 miles with 3400' of up/down, including some nasty steep sections. The totals for the week are more what a good day should log... oh, well. The weather makes it all worth while... 70 degree days and 40 degree nights. I'm off the mountain for supply... heading back up for a two week hit, which ideally will remain the pattern for the summer.

Bad idea to schedule record attempt days in the summer... not good idea at all.

nice porcupine siting... and generally bad training day! Not enough sleep? Just did not have the energy for the effort, but at least it was cool and cloudy.

supposed to just be a maintainance day, around 10,000'... instead it turned out to be a personal best day ever for total elevation. prior best was a finger rock triple at 13 hours and 20 minutes. who knew?

'cold weather on mountaintop made for easier/nicer day... could have done 8th loop, but since it was only a training hike and I felt the knees a bit on the sixth loop I settled for the shorter day.

Well, as always, I end up on the ground on this stretch of trail. First loop, down twice, second loop, just one spill. 1 hour 17 min and 1 hour 15 min round at a fairly good trail training day. Some nice hours out in the woods.

Second hike of the day, and now some easy days before going over and hitting Wheeler Peak: short route on Saturday, long route on Sunday... weather and legs allowing.

Second hike of the day, and still not enough energy to do it right... time for more/better food?
