Point 4780 East of Babad Do’ag. February 2014.

Point 4780 near the Babad Do’ag Trail… Started the day on the Babad Do’ag Trail, tried to make good time up the trail but did take the time to hike up the spur to Point 4780 (first time!) – saw the first snake I have seen this season and for a few minutes everything seemed like a snake – nice weather, but hits of summer sun and heat…

After the Babad Do’ag Trail I drove to the Lower Green Mountain Trailhead – I had hoped to get to the point marked on the SAHC map near Guthrie Mountain, but I wasn’t fast enough and had to turn around at the ‘main’ summit – windy and almost had to put on my jacket, but not quite!

This was the first day since January that I have pushed myself outside and I definitely felt it – just over 11 miles and 3100′ of gain.

1402 Richard about to start descending into Bear Canyon

Race! The 2nd Summit Hut Buying Team Seven Falls Junction race – Alison dropped Richard and I started at Prison Camp – running down, Alison drove to Sabino Canyon and ran up.

I kept up with Richard at the beginning and ran some good miles, but he left me in the dust the last half mile or so before the junction – I thought I would still be 2nd but Alison came around the corner and I knew there was no hope…

1 – Richard, 2 – Alison, 3 – Charles!
