Kydlt I wonder if this will ever happen again: No matter where you come from you go right past my place on the way to this hash. (Correction, you could go through Carson.) So I guess I will run on up the hill. I wasn't going to go out today, but it's only 6 miles and when will it ever be this close again ?
Expedition
Fail. The drive up to where I hit the trail was 4 mi in and 1/4 mi up, the trail part was 4/5 mi each way with 350 ft gain. And then there was the wandering around the forest part. Once I went into the woods I was not happy with the map vs what I saw, nor was I happy with the GPS. And it started raining. I was expecting a mostly horizontal walk, looking at the topo lines, but sometimes reality doesn't look like the map. The GPS was pointing me in a direction that my dead reckoning didn't like. And it started raining. So home I came. No geohash, but a nice walk. Did I mention that it started raining.

Photos
This is from just about where I parked the car.
Google showed this as a road. I knew better.
A profile diagram of my walk.
I walked further up the trail than the 2320 contour line looking for a way in. Off the trail I went up to a ridge and walked it. But everything to my right dropped off. A lot.
Looking North things dropped off very steeply. How come photos never capture this ?
It is so hard to walk a line in this terrain.
