It said ‘Trail is not maintained’ we’ll take it.
Bellow the Suicide Rock Face.
There is no trail going up but so far it is easy.
This part is great for climbing up.
Nice rock.
Those are heavy pinecones.
Our complete group, John will separate from us soon. Look at the shorts we have, from longest to shortest.
One of our breaks, it is getting harder to go up.
The brush is everywhere so it is slow going.
It is either over the rocks or thru brush going up.
Well we made it, here we are tired and over the schedule.
The brush is even bigger going down.
Oops! We lost Martha.
We have to get out of here somehow.
Back on a trail, what a relieve. It is down hill from now on.
Wit is giving us new t-shirts, now we can hike as a team.
Thanks to Wane we have good beer to relax and chips from Wit to replenish our lost salt.
What a car, Martha. Looking good!
