Expedition

Pojana and I set out for the hash at about 6pm, after I got off work. We drove to a parking lot a bit over a mile away from the hash, and set out on foot from there. There were a few promising looking trails at the beginning, but they quickly vanished or turned away from the hash. After about a quarter of a mile of climbing the hill and making our way through the sagebrush, Pojana decided to turn back. I kept going. But at about 1/3 of a mile from the hash, the steepness of the hill increased significantly.

At this point, cold, tired, and a little worried about my wife waiting down by the car, I gave up. Had I been alone, I would have tried to go further. Had the weather been warmer, I would have tried to go further. Had both of those things been true, I might have even found it within myself to make it all the way to the hash. But as it was, the expedition ended in failure.

Thwarted by terrain steeper than it looked online. -- Eldin (talk) @43.5159,-116.0452 19:20, 22 March 2013 (MDT)

Tired, but still smiling.
This lovely view was the main reward for today's expedition.
My not-so-triumphant return down the mountain.
