Completed the final hike for the San Diego Six Pack Peak Challenge for my 55th birthday and flipped Father Time the bird!! The trail itself wasn’t too difficult, a washed out fire road for most of it (the stretch from mile 0.5 to 2.0 was my favorite: single track with lots of crunch! 
), but it’s a steady incline for 6 1/2 miles to the summit (13+ miles total out and back). I read some reports that said it was “brutal”. I wouldn’t go that far, but I’m quite certain my legs are contacting a divorce attorney.

The temp showed 42 degrees, but it felt much colder with the wind. Also, trekking poles. I’ve never considered them because I feel they’d get in the way, but I would be willing to prove myself wrong on this trail, both up and back.
P.S Who do I need to bribe to get the job of the lucky individual who gets to be in that tower all day!
