On Friday, I knocked out more easy HPS peaks off the ACH. I had hiked Winston Peak as a warm up 10 years ago before my first hike with Sean to Twin Peaks. I got the Ridge this time, going over P6903 on the way. It's a nice area with sparse pines. The Winston Ridge register was in a circle of stones. On the way back, I met a deer hunter near P6903. He was worried that I was out in the wilderness without a firearm and that animals might get me. I assured him I had met the animals of the forest and we were at peace. I was more concerned about hunters.

Jeff H and a group just posted a report on Hillyer: https://eispiraten.com/viewtopic.php?t=9295

After Hillyer, I stopped at a turnout to walk up the north ridge of Sally. Another short hike with a good trail all the way. Quite a bit of dead poodledog along the trail. Sally is situated not far from Vetter and has similar 360 views.

Thanks for the report. Sounds like that hunter was smoking the Paranoia weed.

Haha. He just seemed like he deer hunts once a year. All his gear looked new off the shelf from Bass Pro Shops.
