Howdy All
The three amigas had hoped to hike up Vivian to San Gorgonio yesterday. but very high winds and the desire to not become airborne changed our plans. It was time to return to the scene of the "crime" (Dec 30 shoulder fracture).
We started around 5:30 AM with Kat, Sally's fellow employee at Nomad Ventures in Escondido. The hike quickly became magical thanks to gorgeous clouds.

Climbing up to Big Horn peak.
Hiking cross country down from Big Horn peak to Icehouse Saddle.
On the way down the Icehouse Canyon trail, Sally and I looked for the perpetrator of the injury (gnarly root) but couldn't find it. I did the Rocky victory dance when I reached my car in one piece. A fabulous day with great company.
Miles of smiles,
