Precisely, three points for you. Plus a fourth for getting close to my mental state. After posturing on Ross, I ran out of water heading back up Baden-Powell and my hands started going numb. I think I would have fared better in my twenties.
Nope. Did I fool you because I'm wearing the same outfit I wore on Ross? Burnham, however, is within five miles, so one point for you. But it's too far east. Also, I had plenty of water on this hike.

Whooohooo!!!
I will finally see it in person next month.
Day hike or overnighter? The big change that I noticed in hiking it now versus my last time 10 years ago, is the amount of positivity, most of the hikers are really stoked to have been able to get a permit and are "keep it up", "you're almost there", "congratulations" it had a really good vibe. Conversations started up very naturally with strangers, make sure to have your permit with you as I did get stopped by the ranger.

Perfect. I'm on Mt. Lowe (originally Oak Mtn.) with Bear Canyon in the background and Mexican beer on the mind. I prefer Carta Blanca or Corona, but Modelo is okay. Modelo, by the way, is the beer of choice for Mexican farmers in the Gabes.

Not the 3Ts but you're within five miles. One point for you! And I'm not worried about my car lights. It's basically impossible to leave them on now because of the warning bell.
You are on Ski Hut just after you climb up the steep section on to the ridge. You're looking down into Goode Canyon as I climb right through those bushes when I make the wrong turn off.
