Rocks in my head

Posted on by

The Wednesday Walkers had the bright idea of doing the Black Rock climb, and that’s just what we did.

My route was just a little over seven and a half kilometers long.
Seven of us at the meet-up
A jaunt up the highway to start things off.
Over the river, such as it is
Up the steps
Hello, children
Still steppin’ it up.
At the top of the stairs.
But still going up
Whatcha doin’, Jesus? Ah, just hangin’ around. (sorry)
Martin is the candy man
Off the pavement and into the woods
Jim took the longcut
On up to Black Rock
Made it!
The view from here.
That’s Barretto out there in the distance
From whence we came
These pictures ain’t gonna take themselves! Actually, Scott takes a lot of them. And Lydell took this one.
Time to head down. The descent is more difficult than the climb.
Downward destination
Slow and steady
No false steps, Scott!
Black Rock’s sister mountain
Easy does it
The hard part is over now, Martin
Back on flat ground. The problem was it was wet in places.
Follow that ass!
Through some trees…
A little more brush
And then things turned grave
Easter mountain
And the blue house I’ll one day call home.

It was a good way to spend the morning. I’ll talk about my nighttime activities in a separate post.

  1. Easy does it

    That stepladder doesn’t look safe at all. It looks ready to slip out and collapse at the slightest pressure. Yikes.

    Well, I guess it was an adventure. Congrats on surviving.

  2. I probably would have avoided that ladder if it had been any higher. Lydell took the photo, and my masculine pride insisted that I not appear cowardly in her presence.

    Martin was behind me; now I’m curious if he took the ladder or found a workaround.
