Howdy All :)

Left a bit after 5 AM yesterday. it was warmer and more humid than expected but the sunrise was quite nice.

The high clouds helped keep the temperature down once I neared 4 K.

Hiking through the Enchanted Garden towards the 5 K Mars ridge:

View of the Salton Sea from the Never Ending Ridge:

View west from St. Florian's point:

Climbing out of Flat Rock and looking east towards the Salton Sea:

I tried to take a few more pics higher up but my cell phone battery was too low even on airplane mode.

I enjoy seeing friends on weekend Skylines. Cameron say hi as we were getting ready to leave. I walked with Marilyn and Norma S to the picnic tables. Two nice gentlemen said hello at 4 K. Doug said hi and passed at the beginning of the Never Ending Ridge.
Ran into many more friends at the tram -- Hengst Joe, Engine Joe, Diana, Craigmeister -- and was treated to a ride back to our cars by two other Skyline friends.

This was only my third Skyline this fall -- I must be losing my mojo :lol:

Miles of smiles,
Ellen

That was an epic sunrise, Ellen! Sorry to have missed it and hiking with you. Maybe a repeat on Sunday, I hope!

Wow, picture number 4 (sunrise framed by rocks) was my favorite--it looked like a painting! Some gorgeous shots!

I wouldn't be too worried about that mojo Ellen. There's snow in the forecast, and I know you can never resist a beautiful freshly snowcovered mountain just after a storm! As a matter of fact, my only question is San G, San J, San B? They're all calling to you!
