Tina: Just in case I haven't mentioned this before, I hate snakes. Keep your eyes glued to the trail every second - this is rattler prime time. A couple of years ago, I looked up for a moment to find a water cache, and heard a hissing sound...just missed stepping on the evil creature of death!
Let me put it this way, if you get bit, your girlfriend Cat is gonna be pissed!
Need I say more?
Have a fun fourth, girl, from me and my family. We're trying to find a way to legally adopt you. You in?

This weekend hiking

Hi Tina - I hope you had comfortable weather on your trip.
The Sierra Club who have scheduled Cactus to Clouds on Friday at 11.30pm into Saturday (July 11) may take the tram up if night time lows remain above 80 degrees. The alternate hike would be San Jacinto, Folly peak, Drury Pk, Cornell, Jean, and Marion. That sounds like a better plan.

The cactus to clouds trip for this Saturday has been cancelled because of the heat. They are taking the first tram up for some peak bagging.

I'll bring my CPR card -- and watch from a safe distance. Fall over and thrash about on the ground if you need me for anything.

Turned out to be a good c2c day yesterday 7 / 11, cloud cover kept any sun off Tina, Michael and I until about flatrock and there was such a nice breeze I was never really hot. The colors were so nice all morning because of the clouds and it was one of the nicest sunrises I remember on the trail. Despite how nice a morning it was, we saw no one else on skyline. Went through about 5 liters of fluids on the whole c2c including some rat water at RV. I asked a ranger if there were any rats in the tank and he said "not last week". hmmmmm, that water is always gonna taste a little weird to me now.
Anyway, the weather turned out to be really very nice, but I live in the desert full time, and nice weather is from a point of weird perspective after a while.
Always good to see you Doreen and nice getting to come down through the woods with you Jack, thanks for the route,and the site seeing tour, much appreciated.
After eating and having a couple of beers I had to burn up another four hours waiting on my ride to show up. after goofing around up there on the mountain, I planted myself on the tree stump along the trail between the Ranger Station and sidewalk, and finally two girls came walking by, dirty and sweaty, but with big smiles and laughter, having a good time.
I got a ride home with one of them.
