Week day morning driving is opposite the direction of commuter traffic. Lots of parking at the TH. Vault toilet is lighted, with TP and hand sanitizer. Trail easy to follow, no mud.
Valentines Day trip fueled by some chocolate hearts for all. Started off a bit nippy in morning fog, but quickly changed to sunshine and blue sky. Trail dry and well marked. Just enough uphill to dispel the first chill; then, cruised along for ending average pace of 2.2mph. Perfect for mini-conditioning and comradery.
