That IS a BIG hike going up that trail. Reading this was bringing back memories of when I got a little sick on that trail too. Good job Clare. That IS a BIG hike going up that trail.

I finally started feeling normal again on Sunday afternoon! It took a couple days to recoup. Cyberhobo-yes, we were happy nothing serious happened. This trip just cemented how crucial communication can be-it's easy to be lulled into complacency by clear weather, good pace, and being part of a "group". I'm glad it didn't turn into one of those entries in the Annual Accidents book! Walter, Thanks for calling on Saturday and checking up on me.

I am *so* sorry that we missed each other and you ended up coming down alone. That was *definitely* you I seen going up in the red parka when I came down the short cut. I just couldn't believe you had made up that much time. I was sure I would meet you back near Trail Crest. If I had hooked back up with you I probably could have got you down before dark (1900). Lesson learned. I'll do my best not to repeat that mistake again. - Walter Great report, Clare!
