Hiked Mile High Peak (#1), on the 4th. This was a 12h 20m hike (the last 3 hours in the dark). A worthy hike. This is a difficult hike from ANY direction, and that explains the lack of sign-ins at the register (small notebook is only half-full despite 30 years of notes!). Also hit Rosa and Pyramid Peaks. Found a nice "comfy rock chair" on this hike. 2nd best I've ever found.  Jef on Rosa Elevation 5038'
|  Karyn and Helen at Borrego Mtn. last year.
| Attended BSTC tennis tourney on 24th and 25th, but was too injured to participate (shin splints, or something...possibly from hike on 4th...see below). Got to see Karyn and Helen, who had just won 5 Jeopardy (the TV show) contests. We attended the annual banquet, which was at the Hoberg resort this year. The food was excellent, and the company(especially Helen and Karyn) was the best.  Karyn at tennis | ||||||

On the 3rd, went on a 9 mile hike with Karyn up Paloverde Wash, past the Moly Mine, and to the sheep tanks off of Smoketree Wash. I saw 3 bighorn sheep near the lowest tank, which still sported water! We hiked down Smoketree, which is really pretty scenic, and looped back to start along road. I baked 3 loafs of jalapeno bread, after getting back. MISSING PIC -- to be recovered later:  Sheep above Smoketree Wash
