!st rest stop; tough road

Sierra Madra road intersection

Movie: Tough hill

1st fallen tree

Tree fix

One of two cut

Made it to other side

Second tree

More cuts

Made it to other side, but tweaked back in process

MOVIE: Looking forward to Madulce intersection

1st snow, lots of snow later, but I took no pictures :(

Madulce peak in distance

Big deal ‘cause from here mostly down to Alamar

Faint trail to Madulce peak

The road from here to Alamar is bad, but….

…it gets worse…did not look forward to coming back UP this.

Finally the Alamar camp site

Terrible picture, but this is the steep hill down to the spring to get water.

1st days effort. Note return is NOT all downhill

MOVIE: After breakfast ready for hike to WBP

On the way to WBP, 1/4 mile down steep hill, no way

Turn off to West Big Pine

another downed tree, but hiking you simply climb over

The path to the top was not steep at all

This is the top

MOVIE: from top, I left audio as is to show the wind at the top

There is an offical marker, to prove you were there

MOVIE: Views from top, can see PACIFIC

The edge of cliff

As near the edge as I want to go

MOVIE: More views from top

Great views up here, and great WIFI signal

After 2 days of climbing, even my beer gut is less

Back at Alamar, packed up and ready to return

The last day. great but not all down

Only 8 miles to car. no more big climbs -HAPPY-

Back to Caucus saloon addressing back pain -successfully-
