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
Miles of smiles,
Ellen
