Hello, sixpack of peaks Challenge aficionados!! This was one epic hike. I learned so much from my friend, Regina. Whether it was packing energy gels, sandwiches, and orange, or, in my case, cliff bars and baby carrots with water, we made it through the almost 20 mile hike in over 10 hours! We saw amazing views of other peaks and of the Salton Sea. One of us had small distractions by the elevation changes, but hung in there. Regardless if any of us needed to stop to take pics or something else important, we helped each other and took space when necessary. We never lost sight of where we were headed, and managed to complete the trail before sundown. This was my longest hike of either Challenge. Mission accomplished!
