| From here to the junction of the two trails: about a 50-foot drop |
No blog yesterday because I was "under the weather" as they say; GI distress, possibly a gut virus. I was back out there today, but only at about 80%.
While I was climbing the small ridge west of the mountain, from which I took the first image, I saw my buddy Jimmy's truck pull into the Sunset Area. Through my camera lens I watched him starting out and decided to wait until he caught up to me.
He and I talked for quite a while, during which time Renee and Rayo came down the mountain road; we all interacted briefly before man and dog decided to move on. Jimmy and I parted company not long afterward, and I shortened my hike significantly. It felt good to be out there, but I couldn't really appreciate the nice weather as much as I'd have liked.

Your last few photos today really capture the different and strange shapes of yucca plants.
