pascale and i knew it was going to be a nice cool, cloudy day today (predicted nothing higher than 70 before noon)
so we decided to head back over to carbon canyon/chino hills state park for a long, trail run.
i printed out a map from
mapmyrun that showed mile markers for a 15mi run.
happy and enjoying ourselves...
look at those cloudy skies!
oh man, look at the hill we just climbed O.o
look at all those hills behind me.
we are on the South Ridge
power lines! it sounded ominous running underneath them...they were quite loud.
running back down, just for show!
kind of pretty, don't you think?
we missed a turn somewhere around where those pictures above were taken (which was around mile 7 or 8, i think)
we ended up running to the end of the South Ridge trail, and exited by Rolling M Ranch.
we turned around and got onto Telegraph Canyon Trail instead, and headed back.
wasn't until we reached Four Corners, where there was a biker that we talked to. there was also this kiosk/sign behind us, a couple of benches, and a (surprisingly) clean portapotty. he let us know if we continued on the mail trail, we would exit at carbon canyon in about...SIX miles! (we were already at about 12 miles by then)
here's the map
headed back...thankfully this trail was mostly downhill after Four Corners.
[there were a couple of INSANE hillls prior to four corners. so steep that i had trouble walking up it...i was even silently wishing i had some of those hiker poled i've seen people use.]
woo-hoo!
