Starting with our warmup hill. Temp is in low 40s.
Looking back.
On one of our bumps. It is also windy here.
More bumps ahead.
Getting closer to the moon.
Almost up.
Made it to Buck North BM.
Granite Mountain.
Waiting for the rest of our group.
All here.
Hoping that down there will be warmer.
We are down. John found some inactive geo cache.
We will follow the creek up.
Nice walking here.
Water in the creek.
The trail is either spotty or nonexistent.
Whenever we can go we go in the creek bed.
Since we did not find any big cascades this will have do for our lunch place.
After lunch some of us are climbing up high to the road.
Someplace it is still bushy.
Made it up to the road.
This is easier.
Meet with our two other groups. John is still somewhere down in the creek bed
Splitting again, we are looking for some section markers.
L190 is a boundary marker.
Back all together cold, with cold beers and warm smiles. Ending temperature: 42F.
