The meetup was fun. An 8-mile hike in 90+ weather was challenging, but the company was good. Unfortunately, the dog wasn't too crazy about the heat so she kept balking. Sorry about that, Shor! :/
Chippewa, I'm still up for the 30th. I was thinking of John's Meadow in San Gorgonio, but you need an adventure pass and advance reservations (I have an Adventure Pass we can use). Or if there's another hike you're interested in, let me know!
