If you live in East County or anywhere near it, you and your ninety-year-old grandmother have probably hiked this one a dozen times. It doesn't warrant much of a post, but we did it, here are the photos, lets put this one to bed. Jen and I wanted a quick workout after work/school this week so we headed to Cowles Mountain. With sunset approaching and an icy arctic wind urging us on, we chose the short Golfcrest Drive trail. This one is fairly straight forward: straight up for 1.5 miles until you hit the highest point in the city of San Diego, straight down for 1.5 miles until you find your car. If you are like Jen and I, you discuss how to best drag in injured friend out of the ocean and tourniquet their bleeding legs with your own swimsuit. This, of course, will be necessary after a shark sees their bright yellow swim-cap and decides to eat their legs (thank you classmates and Mythbusters for my newfound fear of yellow swim-caps). If you are not like us, find your own topic of conversation!
THE FREEWAY YOU BARELY SEE: MY MORNING COMMUTE TO TAKE LOGAN TO DAYCARE
WORST PICTURE EVER
Interesting Addendum:
The day we hiked this, the news projected snow down to 2000 feet this weekend. We were joking about snow in Alpine, and the supposition that snow on Cowles Mountain would represent the appocalypse followed. Yesterday, Jen sent me an article that suggested the top of Cowles Mountain might get snow today. If it does, I'll be there.
