Swainsy on Wise Man

1st 6:  Swainsy on Wise Man
Hot again this morning as Dr. K, Willow and I began our regular hike.  Almost immediately we had to alter our usual route due to a man and his dog who were in the Tellbrook Arroyo heading east before turning up LDR in our direction.  The detour had a positive element, though, in that we spotted Swainsy atop one of the wise men just to the west of us.  I got some pretty good photos of the raptor.  We made up for the abbreviated first leg of the trek by bushwhacking out of the left branch and over to the saddle just south of 4210 hill which we scaled.  Took a long drive afterward.
