Total distance: Approximately 14 miles
Elevation Gain: 3500 feet
Time: 8:30 am - 4:00 pm
Weather: Overcast and cool.
I tried and failed again at reaching Hurricane Ridge from the Little River Trailhead. I got lost in the same place again, so that's good. But I think I need some map and compass, maybe a gps device or something, to find the trail in this one area.
I took Sean with me, and the two of us had a good time. He is dealing with life, and I can only imagine being 16 and dealing with all that stuff. I told him before the hike that I will always walk the trails when my heart hurts, and it usually still hurts when I return. It does get better, and for brief moments along the hike, I forget my troubles. He and I spent a lot of the day in silence. We talked when we needed too, but we enjoyed the wilderness and the silence this hike always seems to provide. I have hiked this trail three times and each time only seen the other person I was hiking with.
Orchid: Working on the stuff in my head, with a future friend with me.
Onion: Losing the trail... again.
