Ascent Trip ReportI ended up actually doing this twice as there were several tourist trying to find it and I escorted them to the TH from the saddle a second time. It was worth it. I have never caught the weather this fine up there. I could see way out into the ocean and far down the coast lines. The wind was strong and made the humidity tolerable. I got some extra miles and gain with this back and forth but I ran into the same couples I escorted later in the day, and they all thanked me and said it was the best part of their day. |
