Wednesday Volleyball , nore to the floor hockey afterwards.. I don't mind either
way.. and we might still change days when we see who is in which class. Either

The Canyon North Trail had
taken everything out of me.. not physically, but emotionally. and we didn't
know if the Subway would be even more difficult. Gabriel was also very
willing not to do the Subway section at this time.

Gabriel's suggestion to do the part we didn't do
this morning, now that we knew where it ended and had done the rest of the
climb. I asked someone who seemed to know the area if the Subway was more
difficult than the Canyon North Trail and she said "No, except there's a
little more in the "open". I later understood that to mean you fall
real far if you slip.... so extreme caution is necessary.

NOTES :
1) The Canyon North Trail and Subway would have been extremely dangerous if
they had been wet.
2) It's better to go UP Halfway House trail than down.
3) This is definately NOT a trail for the un-experienced
4) Round fasteners on Gaiters hurt too much and are dangerous in situations
where you have to use your Knees to climb.
5) If because only a small hike is planned, you workout real hard at the gym
the days before the hike, beware if you change you plans to a difficult hike
6) Wear my contact lenses...
Gabriel on the Canyon North Trail and then in Short-cut between
Canyon North Trail and Long Trail. |

Of
course we couldn't take pictures when we were in difficult situations.
/ Later I find out this is called Scrambling.. (not hiking) |

steady on Precor Cycle846 / Cross country 2 program #2

Lower the resistance a little so that I maintain closer to 70rpm instead of
my usual 60.. think it's better before our planned hike on Saturday.
