***10/5
– First hike of October today. Went to Almaden Quicksilver with my brother, who is down on business from Woodinville. We hiked up the Mine Hill Trail.
***10/10-10/12
– Final pack trip (most likely) of the season with Owen and his sister Shelley. As per our tradition we went to Fletcher Lake. On the first day I drove to Tuolumne and hit the trail at nearly 6:00 pm, hiking to Fletcher Lake mostly after dark – arriving there around 10:30 pm. On the second day we climbed Vogelsang Peak and visited Vogelsang Pass. On day 3 we hiked back down to Tuolumne Meadows and hit the Tioga Pass Resort for late lunch – hours before they closed for the season.
***10/19
– Nice fall hike at Almaden Quicksilver Park today – it was warm on the south side above New Almaden and then cooler and windy near the ridge and on the way back down. Went up English Camp trail and Castillero trail to Catherine Tunnel, then back down via Mine Hill Trail.
***10/25
– The usual short hike at Almaden Quicksilver – up English Camp and Castellero and down Mine Hill. It was hot today!
***10/26
– Hiked again at Almaden Quicksilver – even though I was there yesterday. This time hiked very fast out Randol and up Prospect #3, trying to stay ahead of 3 people on horseback. (Managed to do so until just before the top of Prospect #3 where I had to cut cross-country to stay ahead.) Then up the ridge and across Castillero past English Camp to take the shortcut back to the parking lot.
