Boys,
Trek on Saturday. Verdugo Mountains. Behind Glendale/Burbank in LA County. A fire road and a sandy, slippery trial which leads up to a radio tower at the top. Great view of Glendale, Burbank and LA Downtown. Poor visibility owing to fog. The whole wide expanse looked like an Industrial wasteland from the top.
The constant hum of traffic, in yonder distance could be heard from the top. The sound of sirens, honks, the hum of the wheels. Also, the chirping of birds, the screech in mid-flight and the general calling of the females.
Infy guys, gave up half way thru. Just 1 hour into the trek. It was a steep climb and they were not prepared. Further the scare of Mountain Lions, Coyotes and Rattle Snakes put them off. They rested midway.
Boss climbed alone to the top, braving the sun and slippery path. Up to the Radio Tower to see the expanse. On one side the valleys and on skirted by the San Gabriel mountains. Walking down was a hoot. Slip at every step, but I learnt the ropes and was running downhill with gutso.
Lots of things missed
- Primary was the guide who identifies the bird calls, who is amazed with the diversity and loves to take on challenges. Also missed the lizard catching abilities. ---- qt/Madhu
- Slippery path, the guy who falls down all the time, owing to the worn down shoes. Hard of hearing, but full of prying-eyes. Would have enjoyed the "kudiya" climbing up. ------ DJinn/Raghu
- Mighty mountain, and the crazy guy who wants to give it more than 100%, climb up, run down, exhaust and still go on. ----- Mr Nature Lover/Ravi
- 8 miles per day, trekked in snow. Who would not hesitate spending a couple of hundred dollars, just to get some good food. Gets to the top without complain, and has a tranquil smoke. -------- DD/Dany
- Neeru Utpatti maadtheeni. And then he sits down exhausted. Drinks water and says that he can climb more. Iron Body/Gym bodied. Our camera man. -------- Gym Body/Nagi
- Sanjay & Narada : Advice to come along with us for treks. Make sure that you dont miss the next one while in India.
Most of the things missed was bcos the group I had gone with did not want to climb. I think "Health conciousness" is a born-instinct for D_MEN.
On Sunday I ran a little away up Griffith park in Hollywood mountains. Very soon, anna will be so fit that I will come back and run up the road to Chamundi. Mr Raghu & Mr Ravi, be prepared. Thats going to be the challenge. Running up Chamundi - from the Nanjangud road side. OK?
