Well I normally hike and backpack solo but decided to take my husband with me on this one. He was very reluctant to the point where he “forgot” stuff. I believe in an attempt to get me to forgoes the hike. He even pulled the “I’m huge and I have to poop” on our drive to the trail head. After a stop at the store and the USFS HQ (that had a restroom for him) however nobody to give us a day pass or annual pass. We decided to deal with the parking fine, since we were already way behind schedule. We arrived at the trailhead ay 1030 and headed out shortly after. I had printed directions regarding the trails etc in hand but someone who will remain nameless decided to discuss the route (shoot me know was my though at the time). I made it to the Peak with the pissed off spousal unit in tow. (He actually said I was trying to kill him). We refilled our water, ate a quick lunch and headed down around 4pm (I wanted to leave alot sooner but didn’t need a CSI investigation on my husbands death). Headed down and due to my bad ankle and feeling loss in my left leg (back injury) I was a lot slower going down hill than I was going up. We eventually hit darkness and ofcourse I left my headlamp in the truck because I figured the hike up woldnt have taken so long (or the break). So I used the moon light and my trekking poles and hiked by feel for awhile. Slow but we made it, bad joints and all. 1 down 5 togo……
