It's a texture kind of day. So far, hiking Mt. San Antonio has been three very different experiences with variations of snow, ice, high winds, clouds, clear skies, and possible near death experiences (jk). Today was one of those days where conscious decisions were made to not look into the distance, but rather, what was right in front; appreciation of lines, grooves, dents, and colors. Thanks to the homie Allen for the company.

In addition, this is a jump start to a full summer of training with the goal of not losing my sanity while on the JMT. Preparation meets opportunity.
