Peter owes a writeup! -- Pictures by Iris and Karl

I took the hike too lightly and it kicked my butt! 16 miles, 5000+ feet, on a warm day. Thanks to the many similar trail names, lack of signage, rock/pseudo-rock confusion, and general bad directions, there was the usual fair share of people taking wrong trails, but it's all good.

Arlene shows you can always find good shiggy at Las Trampas

A toast to the Man of the Hour -- congrats to Big Dave on his Triple Shot!
(note the nice shiggy on his leg, or is that gangrene?)

Theresa knows it's a long way up from Devil's Hole

Russell can taste the finish line once he's on Elderberry

Honorable mention to Madeleine for attempting the hike, but no leaf due to missing all 3 peaks.
