| partners | | Linda came up with this one and asked if I would like to tag along. With stats and weather in perfect alignment, I instantly signed on. Morning came and we hit the trail at 0700, with me somehow still sleeping. I started this hike trailing and basically held that position the rest of the day, just following Linda where ever it was that she went - much like a lost dog. Don't tell her, but if she would have somehow given me the slip, I'd still be out there trying to find my way back to the truck.
Back to the hike, it was with few exceptions perfect weather with very little direct sun and sufficient breeze. The trail in general gained elevation at a very pleasant rate - aside from this one part where Linda dragged me up some God forsaken, boulder heap. This is an interesting loop as you can see where you're going and where you've been the whole way, It's like a race track running around the inner perimeter of this big canyon. Though the mileage was on the longer side, the elevation was low enough that sniveling was minimal today. All in all just a really nice day out hiking; not too strenuous, not too easy, a nice area that is largely new to me, yakking with Linda. All good things.
Thanks Linda for the invite and the company. Top notch as always. |
