The day after Dragon Peak . . . Sierra Sparkles almost had to work, but at the last minute got the ok to hike! Glad we waited! Tom Gossett and I had tired legs from the day before. Sparkles was tired from the early morning drive and work stress. We had a leisurely hike to Trailmaster Peak, lots of stops and goofing around. Fun day with good friends!

Man, you'd never catch me on a crack like that without a belay! Looks a terrific trip, though!
