This afternoon for my tromp I wanted to go up on Sunshine Ridge off Hwy 90. I got up there and could see it was going to be a lot of mud. So I headed down and cut through Shavano to the Rim Rd and went walking on Crag Rd. I only then had time for about three miles out to the Rock Climber View Point. I met some young folks that were hiking with their two dogs and later an older couple riding mountain bikes. It was a very warm day in the low 50s. I’m sure going to miss these walks come late spring when it heats up. I wish we could afford to go north in the summer. I guess I’ll have to try getting out there at sunrise. But that is often already too warm for me to walk the way I like. Plus, you have to be completely covered because of mosquitoes. For now I’ll totally enjoy my daily jaunts. iPhone Pics
