Goat Canyon Trestle 2/16/09
Many want to go there, not all are able to do it. But whole our group of 16 will make it.
We are going to the Goat Canyon Trestle.
Our plan is to go up via canyon.
Somehow we are steered towards the ridge (change of plans).
It is windy, somewhat sunny and no rain yet.
On a way to Puff.
Register break at the Puff.
Crossing trestle, by now it is drizzling.
Our lunch is inside the collapsed tunnel.
Putting on our raingear. By the end of a hike we all will know how our Southern California raingear works.
