Friday! Wooohoooo! Why is he so excited you ask, it’s not like it’s the end of the work week. Well, it kind of is. Cherie and Becky are picking me up today for a couple zero days at home. Also, short hike day.
Today I wanted to try packing up with no breakfast and having energy bars on the trail. In addition, sit down, this may be hard to believe, no coffee. I’m finding that some of the things I planned on eating on the trail and some of the ways I do things, are a pain and not giving me much benefit. So first is breakfast, my plan was always to cook up some oatmeal and hot coffee, then hit the trail. I’m finding that all I really want to do is hit the trail, really like hiking in the morning. So today I was going to try it, and it worked out perfectly, felt good. No more hot breakfast. I’ll still plan on having a hot breakfast if with someone else I’m hiking with enjoys it but for me alone, no more.
Beautiful morning hike, blue skies, moon still out, the world waking up. Finally saw a few larger animals. Just a few deer like critters but nice to see.
Came across a few intersecting trails, which is normal but one of them stood out to me. There is no way I would ever go down that trail. Picture below.
Remember the movie The Blair Witch Project? A big horror movie in the late 90s. Nope, not going down that trail.
A good day of great views and a short hike ending with seeing my sweetheart, it doesn’t get any better. 7 miles with 800 feet. Well, there was one incident, these two got into my snacks, this could be a problem!

Thanks for the ride up Dean. I almost feel like Iām there, but without sweating š
Worst. Movie. Ever. It was. Really. Sorry, but I actually walked out of that one. Doesn’t diminish the views you got today though!! Wow! Would much rather have been hiking today than at the office!! Some nice bluebird skies, and a beautiful morning! Need a hiking partner?
Come on out!
Dean these pictures are amazing. I am so proud of you.
Thanks Kim!
