Even though I had to work tonight, it was too nice of a day to do nothing. So I met up with my friend Anna and her dog Flint, helped her spot her vehicle at Garfield Trail, and went up to Galehead with them. Very pleasant hiking, though I was still a sweaty mess. Plenty of people out and about, some obvious Pemi Loopers, backpackers, and day hikers. Parted ways with my companions back at Gale River Trail (they continued to Garfield, and were misdirected toward Lafayette, instead of down Garfield Trail :\ ), and ran down to my car, arriving at 2pm. Had just enough time to make it back home, shower, and drive to Portland to work for the night. A worthwhile use of my time, burning the candle at both ends! |
