SnowDude wanted to hike on my last weekend before surgery. He wanted to try Corkscrew and Little Corkscrew. TomG joined us since he didn't make the last one. A beautiful day!

Titus Canyon was closed, so we decided late Saturday night to do Malpais Mesa. Another beatiful day!

That's exactly what I expected you would be up to! Climbing Mountains before surgery!
Wow that second to last picture .. the "Sierra View" is breathtaking. Looks like those Nazca land drawings down in the valley below!
