I hiked up San Giorgino using the South Fork trails. I started off much later than I had planned. I made the mistake of carrying 25 pounds on this 22 mile journey. I did not get elevation sickness but I could feel the altitude. The weather was great. The trails were clean and safe. There weren't alot of hikers that day. But I used the face mask throughout the entire time. I saw many blooming wild flowers. I was sluggish that day. I hiked really slow. At the Dry Lake View Campground, I ran into Philip Yoho and Tara. They were doing 9 Peaks. When I saw them, they were on their 7th Peak. Philip and Tara proceeded to their last 2. As I got to San Giorgino Peak, I saw them again. At this point, I was dead tired. Philip and Tara gave me encouragement to finish strong.
I am so blessed to finally reached the Peaks with the support of the hikers.
