| the end of the high peaks hike |
Drove to High Peaks trailhead after a leisurely morning starting with the standard breakfast. By 12:30 we were on the up and up to the home of the condors but the buzzards had taken over the sky above the peaks and the clouds came in and the wind as well and the big dogs sat at home. After a 6 mile loop on Condor Gulch and High Peaks trails we were broken and needing rest. The tom turkey crew came into camp while I slept and S witnessed their ritual display as in the Thanksgiving paintings. There was also the coyote who came through this morning looking fit and nonchalant. S tried the showers and found them scalding and uncontrollable; the pool is still closed for winter. The Spring Breakers are rumored to come in tomorrow and we’ll be gone. This has been a great interlude. B is a bit bored.
