17 miles, 8 hours, just me




Mt. San Gorgonio has it in for me. I want to make it to the top, but I've been twice denied. This time I came within 2 miles of the peak before the thunder and lightning became too much for me to psychologically overcome on my own. There are apparently storms like this pretty often, and they pass quickly, however.. I was alone on the mountain, 8 miles in, watching lightning strikes elsewhere on the mountain, and wildfires were running through my mind. I simply don't think I could outrun one of those... I will try again, mark my word. I will climb the tallest mountain in Southern California.
