Biggest challenge: 2-mile road walk on the Angeles Crest Highway, to avoid a detour around endangered frog habitat.

Still encountering an occasional rattlesnake. They are much darker here, compared with the ones I’ve seen before.

  1. Mt. Baden-Powell? Named after the founder of the Boy Scouts? Snakes tend to be colored based upon environmental factors so that they can properly blend in – but be careful! Have a wonderful day on the trail. Chris did the Duncan Knob hike yesterday morning. He left the cabin before we headed home. Weather finally broke for a nice hike for him. Have a wonderful day on the trail and Be Careful and Be Safe Out There! – Hardcharger
