Wow! What a day! My hiking partner, Wes, and I were supposed to meet up to conquer Mt. Diablo together this morning. However, somehow entering the GPS coordinates in Waze and Google Maps took us to different entrances — Waze to the north, and Google to the south. Once we realized we were a 40-minute drive apart we decided to meet at the summit. Wes’ map said he was 3.5 miles to the summit, the board where I was was scratched off but looked like it said 4 miles to the summit. Wes tried to call me when I was nearing the peak and I told him I was about 5-10 minutes away. The peak was not actually 4 miles, but over 5. I followed the trail to North Peak, only to discover it was not the highest summit, and that he was on the actual summit. He headed down and I headed the extra 2-miles to the summit. After relaxing a bit on the summit I headed back down and ended up doing 14-miles on the nose back to my car. 4,374’ of elevation was quite a workout. Bummed we couldn’t get a pic together on the summit, but glad we got to both defeat the devil on the same beautiful day.
