EISPIRATEN

Beautiful new picture guys and gals. Thank you!

Went up yesterday and yowzer, the recent trail work done is awesome. The trail is back to being in the shape it was 20 years ago. It may actually be better then before in certain areas. There were a couple of problem areas on the trail notably when you first left Stone, when you entered the canyon ...

I can't read (or write). Instead, can it draw little pictographs that summarize the TR? Also, have it pour me a glass of Pinot Noir.

There should be a contest for ugliest post-fire hike. Winner receives the ugliest beanie I've found on the trails.

I don't know how to pick my favorites. I do various hikes for various reasons, and many of them were very memorable. I'll go with the toughest I completed, the toughest I didn't complete, and the toughest where I thought I might actually fall and die.
