Cuca Lost My Multitasking Ability

Day 2 and last hike of our Memorial weekend adventure. We have same number of people, one didn’t make it today but joined by another equally energetic hiker.

Today is the day that I lost my multi-tasking skill. It was along the steep switchback before the saddle, after about 2.5mi mark. Typically, I’m able to eat while hiking, just like anybody else, i assumed. This time I noticed, conscientiously, that after biting the bar, it just stayed in my mouth and not chewing. To do the chewing activity, i had to stop and finished the bar then resumed my hike. Maybe I was still tired from the day before.  It seemed that breathing, eating and hiking were so difficult to do that time. At the saddle, I fully satiated myself before embarking to the next phase of the hike. I can’t afford to get hangry????

This time, we literally hike our hike and the group just met at the peak.  I met another hiker along the trail that I met once in Skyline. We’re hiking buddies for about 1/2 mile, at least I was able to have a descent conversation while hiking lol.

The weather was a bit hotter than yesterday but tolerable.

It was another epic experience and also exciting with lots of photos for the first timers in the group.
