Me, scary? Just bring earplugs and you'll be fine...

as for the weekend, think we'll be out Picketpost way on Saturday and Barry Goldwater peak on sunday. I'll possibly be poking around Barks Canyon or the Goldfields tomorrow though...

True. The MSP is only open from sunrise to sunset. Rules also expressly prohibit hiking off any established trail. The penalty for both violations is a Class 2 Misdemeanor. I think there is a fair amount of leniency in the time just before and after sunset. In fact, the gates are opened 30 minutes prior to sunrise daily, so you'd think that is a reasonable assumption that it's ok. But all it takes is a neighbor to call, and the police will respond. That's their job, and it's difficult to plead ignorance with the rules so well posted. That said, it has never stopped me from night hiking or off-trail hiking there. :)
I'm not sure what my spirit animal is, but I'm confident it has rabies.

You started late in the day, stopped for a snack and feel asleep and woke up after dark.

I'm not sure if you did that on purpose or not, but that's funny.

Speaking of night hiking, if anyone wants to join in, I'll be leaving from Peralta at 7pm on Saturday.
