I decided I wanted
to go back to the little pond just off the Church Creek trail. This
is partly off trail and partly on trail all of it in the old growth. I
love going off trail in the old growth but also know the risk of injury is
higher when scrambling over logs and side hilling on brush slopes. So I asked Phil to join and he did.
We started
at about 10:30, the days are long, so why not sleep in? The trip was fun and mostly uneventful.
At one point
Sage got her leg stuck between a branch and a log that she was climbing over
and she yelped in pain. I went back and
helped her. Sage is not stoic like
Patches was. I think Sage would let me
know right away if she got hurt, unlike Patches who never showed any signs of
pain.
This hike
was just shy of 4 miles but with 2,100 feet total elevation gain and all the
brush crashing, I'm feeling it today.
This was also my steepest hike this year.
Phil and I
would like to try to find the 1962 airplane crash in the Olypmics.
