| no partners | | We'd been rained out of a couple of planned trips up onto the Rim this summer. The forecast called for rain again, but frustration and cabin fever had us in their grips, so we set off anyway. Was cloudy when we arrived, but we dropped off a vehicle near where Barbershop meets the Houston Brothers trail and headed to the east end of Barbershop to start hiking.
I never tire of the Rim and the Cabin Loop. The temperature was perfect and the rains had everything green and lush. It's the rut and the elk were bugling constantly. Thunder rumbled all around us. We did get a good drizzle about 2/3rds of the way through the hike but nothing bad.
Finished the hike and found a decent camp spot and tried to construct a camp that would keep us dry when the inevitable rains hit. By sundown we had camp set up, cocktails in hand and a nice dinner cooking. The thunder rumbled on. The elk kept up their lonely bugling. We'd named the camp Thunder Elk by the time dinner was over and the Fireball was being poured.
It was good to be back on the Rim. |
