Pleasanton Ridge: August 4


I haven't mentioned this before, but our hikes start at 8 am every Saturday morning. It's been a tough adjustment for someone who's used to staying out late on Friday nights, and complicated by the fact that it takes a long time to reach some of our destinations. I underestimated travel time this morning and ended up arriving a little late. So late I had to run about a mile to catch up to the pack. This was also the warmest day I've been on the trail, which was unfortunate since I forgot a hat and sunglasses. But despite the setbacks, Chuck, my mentor captain, and I set a good pace and finished the hike ahead of schedule.
