Trek.

So today I was riding the bus home from work. Looking out the large, high windows, my gaze fell beyond the smoggy exhaust trailing behind us, and captured the grand SB Mountains. I noticed something I had seen many times before - - - but as I was staring at it, I had an original idea! :-)

During the fires that managed to turn most of our lush peaks into ash, firemen, at somepoint built a huge fireblock leading from the foothills STRAIGHT up to the top of the highest ridge.

My idea: climb it.
All the way. Find the base and just go straight up. Maybe spend the night somewhere in the middle and then finish it in the morning. I hope we can somehow do this before it gets covered in sage and shrubs and flowers.
