Well, My first hill climbing for years. It's good to get out. Didn't get it but didn't expect to the first time. I'll hit it every 3 days until I get get it. LOL so out of shape. Got to 2100ft 400 more to go. I was accending from the north side. Last hill I did was Gasp from the gorge..years ago.

Such a cool area. Why was that helicopter flying so low? Border patrol?

Yes BP. Ive been hitting Piedras Grandes about every 3 days. Im close to the top now. Im At about 2450. Not doing any hill climbing in the last 3 years hasn't done me any good. Most of the steep stuff is done. This hill reminds me of coming down to the Huff BM. Full of cactus and lose rock. Being 71 years young Ill get it the next go around.

71, awesome! I feel ya. I hit 60 this year and it feels like it.

I got buzzed by a BP heli on top of Tecate a few years back. On the second pass, it blew a bunch of dust and twigs inside my vehicle since my windows were open. Maybe I shouldn't have waved at them.

LOL the 8 underpass going to Table Mountain I got pulled over by BP. They told me to empty by rig. I politely told them to fk off. Prior weekend I was hiking in the Baja near La Mila. Lost a good pair of lightweight nylon hiking pants from butt scooting down PG. Though ripped in the rear area I still will use them until I can replace them.
