A Detour Due to Fires

Interesting walk today. Seems we took a detour due to forest fires last year. It was beautiful, but longer. We didn’t realize this was not necessary until a group of young walkers out of nowhere passed us. I did the math in my head and figured out they had to have stayed at the mid point of the lower route yesterday to be here. They called it a day at a wonderful spot where we were just stopping for drinks. The spot was beautiful, looked over a dam and there was a dog that looked just like our dear Boo!!!!

The hill/ mountain before us looked awful but surprisingly we kicked out those last kilometers with little effort.
Met a great crew from San Diego tonight! We stayed at an awesome spot, the four of us once again in our own room!
