Baldy via Village Trail (again) 5/9/09
Posted: Sat May 09, 2009 2:52 pm
Hiked Baldy up the Village trail with my buddy, Jeff, again. Next week, we'll do something different We've just been doing this as a good, conditioning hike. We made it to the summit in I thin, 3 hours, 15 minutes. He'll correct me if I'm wrong. Since I woke up at 2:45 to start this hike by 4:00 AM, I'm a little forgetful at the moment.
Anyway. the weather was pleasantly warm early in the morning. The weather on the summit was great. The air quality was pretty poor, due to the SB fire. On the way down, we met GigiMike and 2 other nice guys, whose names I cannot recall...Richard? And?? Sorry guys, but it was a pleasure to meet you! They were doing the 6 peak loop today, which I plan on trying soon.
As we neared the trailhead, we came across a few hikers, who I hope make it home okay today. You know the type- ill prepared, carrying very little water...and only a mile or two into the hike asking "Am I almost there?"
Well, that was my 20th time on the good old Baldy summit. Hooray!
