February 7th 2016 - Hike up the ridge
We liked Guy's idea of
hiking to the top of the nearby ridge especially now that we knew there was no park restriction against it. We picked a route we thought
could easily get us to the top. We quickly found ourselves at the top
with an incredible view of the Pine Canyon area including our campsite. We also had full signal so we sent some
emails and texts and made some calls. When we were ready to head
back, we realized the way down was a lot tougher than the way up.
We tried a couple different routes before we finally ended up doing a
crab walk down the steepest areas. It took us about 3 times as long to get down as it did to climb up. We could see Guy's campsite on our
way down and hoped he was not watching our less than dignified
descent. We made it to the bottom safely with only a few cactus
thorns in our pants and a small tear in one of my back pockets.
