I’ve been meaning to sign up for the 52 Hike Challenge for many months.  I enjoy hiking, I have a hiking/outdoor photography blog, and I like to challenge myself.  I also consider myself strongly influenced by my left brain genes.  Analytical.  Logical.  Objective.

My left brain compels me to create a spreadsheet where I log all of my hikes for the year.  I log the date, the location, the miles hiked, and the total elevation gain.

As I always do, I logged in my hike up Harwood Hill in the Sierra Azul just south of my neighborhood.  When checking the totals, I realized that I hiked my 52nd hike for 2015…today.

I guess that it is time to head up the trail again starting tomorrow…

Where are you hiking this weekend?   Can you guess at what National Park this picture was taken?

If you’re looking for me, I’m over the hill.
