I hit the Palomar mountains this weekend to do some hiking with a group from the local college, and had a blast. Part of the fun is watching hikers who haven't been acclimated to high altitude try to keep up. At first it's funny to see your hiking partners huffing and puffing up a mild slope above the valley, but then you start thinking about how long it's been since you've attended a class in CPR, and you start wondering if your cell phone has signal that far up in the hills.
To our credit, no one needed to be airlifted home. Lots of pelicans and woodpeckers spotted and Native American markings uncovered. No 911 calls. All in all, very successful!
