Ahhh the Rim Trail!

We began the day by breaking and entering since the gate atop Mt. Wilson doesn’t open until 10:00 or so and we have always been early risers. Conveniently there is a small opening in the wire fence just below the road. Since Sharon has practiced yoga twice a week for the past 15 years, she can easily maneuver herself through this space and pull herself up and over the stone wall. My good friend has never even once suggested that I should be the one to do this. Once she’s in, she unlocks the gate for me and we’re off!

My God we had a lot of energy to burn this week. Our fires fueled by pet discipline issues, parking enforcement, community college education, type-A lawyers and various of our respective relatives; we took on 9 miles and climbed a magical 2500 ft over the last 2.8!
