Howdy Ferg!

Welcome to the southland. Glad you had a slight break in the weather with your Skyline stroll. Still a stroll in the park compared to MDS!!

yowza

kinda figured it was something like that..lots of good reading there..like I said in the pm, there's a better way to the peak..not sure what your schedule is.

It was a big day, one of the longest continuious climbs on a training run that I have done. In fact I ran a Rim to Rim to Rim in the grand canyon in May and this one took about the same time, was every bit as challenging as the R2R2R. So no stroll but a little easier than MDS, ha ha...
I am unfortunately leaving tomorrow morning so will not be able to head back up there. Did find so good trails around La Quinta, the Boo Hoff loop and a few others.

Wished I could have gotten together with you.....I live near the trailhead parkinglot in lq...maybe next time

Not that I'd have been able to keep up with you...

Just would have been nice to meet you..

We are staying in La Quinta right near the trail head, to bad we are leaving. Would have loved to go for a cruise in the trails with you. Oh well next time I'm here I will post and it might work out.

FB - That would be me who you ran into and suggested you post here. Glad you found us those are some mighty impressive times. Anyone know the unofficial record? Just think how much time you woulda saved if we didnt stop for a chat

[FBHawke]

Yes, the picture throwing the baby, i remember. Was great chatting with you, i went steady all day except for the occasional stop to chat with other hikers on the trail. Would like to return someday when its a little cooler, now that i know the trail and really giver to see what time i could do.[/quote]
