Mt. Wilson via Jones, Hastings Peak tomorrow

I'm planning on repeating a loop I did last Saturday. It was a great workout, and since it was my first 15+ miler in about 6 weeks, it was a little more challenging than it should be for me. So, the stubborn, strong girl in me has decided to do it again and feel better! I'm going up Wilson, via Bailey Canyon, over a ridge, tagging Hastings Peak, and then down the Mt. Wilson trail. I'm wondering if I'll see any of you folks on the trail?

Hi, Liz,
I'll be in the area, but a few canyons west of you. I'm still rehabbing my knee, so no tough hikes for me right now.
Happy hiking,
Jim

Hi Hikin' Jim! I had great time hiking that loop today. When I stood atop of Hastings Peak, I did wave at you and even said "Hi Hikin' Jim." Ha ha! Did your ears ring? I hope you had a nice hike today too. I hope to meet you in person some day! Cheers!

This is a father and son trip we took last January 20th (2008)

Cool pics, Matt! Looks like a good time. I'm just a hiking dork who sticks to trails, no ropes in my life so far...

My ears were definitely burning.
Glad you had a good hike. My hike was fun too, but can't wait to get the knee up to speed so I can do some "real" hiking again, or better yet XC skiing.
