Dennis came with me on a meet-up group hike for the first time. He worked graveyard and then came straight with me to hike. What a trooper! I think he liked it okay.
There was a crap ton of people at this one! Ed said this was not a hike to lollygag on because it would be easy to get lost. How right he was! This trail wound in and out of the hills, through deep chapparel, with shoot-off trails everywhere. We had no problem keeping up and we ended up doing 6.83 miles in 2 hours 54 minutes. Nice pace. I didn't get pictures of all the little flowers I wanted to because I didn't want to lose the group. This trail also had the most poison oak I have seen in many many years. I was careful and hopefully didn't brush up against any!
In other news, I sent off for another permit for Mt. San Jacinto. I'm shooting for sometime in August. Solo.
Next outings up are a Father's Day hike at Bucaneer Beach, camping/hiking at Mt. Laguna with my friend Diana, my daughter Simone, and her friend Michelle. Then camping/hiking at William Heise with Dennis and Simone the following week!
Living' the dream, baby!
Enjoy some pictures-
25 hikers at least!

Forest of poison oak!
We saw horses!
Interesting memorial to a biker that died.
