Spent Sat. and Sun. in Inner Pasture, Red Top, etc. I'm crazy about the Inner Pasture:
View from camp:
Practice, practice, practice:
Is this a bonafide pottery shard?
Red Top summit with sun just hitting it in the morning:
I'm going to consider Red Top my "mid-life crisis hike". 47 is approaching fast.
This was a hard scramble! I left my tent at 6:45 am and was able to climb Red Top in shade the whole way. The view out toward Canebrake from Red Top:
Morteros, I think they were in Moonlight Canyon, just before you reach the Inner Pasture:
Lenticular cloud that formed early Sunday afternoon. It grew immense by 3 pm and kept me shaded on my way back to Agua Caliente.
Ocotillo in Inner Pasture.
On the way back down Moonlight Canyon, Whale Peak in the distance?
Oh, in keeping with the tradition of what I have seen and read on this forum (which is great), I had 3 mylar balloon sightings, only two of which I could reach to retrieve. The desert is a little cleaner! Thanks for hosting a great forum gang! - Jim
