Week 126 Jan. 27 - Little River, again

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.
