We started the hike on Day 8 with (left to right) Susie and Jarry Bartz (members of the Coast Geological Society), Humberto Badillo (Arizona State University student), Topanga (Humberto's dog), me, and Sue (who is taking the photo). Mount Baden Powell is in the background.
Here we see Humberto, Jarry, Susie, and Sue hiking along the white-fir-covered Pacific Crest Trail below Jackson Flat.
The weekend of June 17 and 18 (hiking Days 8 and 9) was designated CSUN Alumni Weekend and CSUN alumni and faculty were encouraged to join the hike. At Grassy Hollow Visitor's Center we added four new hikers to the group. Left to right are Humberto, Diane Phillips (CSUN geology alumnus from Carson Valley, Nevada), Pam Irvine (from the California Geological Survey in Los Angeles), Vicki Pedone (CSUN Geology Faculty and Associate Dean of the College of Science and Mathematics), Topanga, Sue, Susie, Jarry, and Bob Clover (CSUN geology alumnus from Prescott, Arizona). Diane was on her second day with us and Pam was hiking for the fourth time.
With Sue leading the way, the group climbs along the Pacific Crest Trail up to Inspiration Point. Shady groves of white fir were interspersed with open, sunny, chaparral-covered areas.
After a pleasant morning hike, Susie and Jarry left us at Inspiration Point, and we picked up (on the left) Ian and Doug Yule. Doug is a CSUN Geology Faculty member and Ian, his son, was the youngest hiker to accompany us.
Here's the group hiking along the crest of Blue Ridge on the Pacific Crest Trail. The upper terminus of one of the chair lifts at the Mountain High Ski Area is on the right and Mount Baden Powell is in the background on the left.
At Blue Ridge Campground we stopped for lunch and added five more hikers to the group. Left to right in the back row are Gene, Pam, John Pepitone (CSUN College of Science and Mathematics Development Officer), Vicki, Natasha Galvez (CSUN geology alumnus and high school science teacher), George Dunne (CSUN Geology Emeritus Faculty), and Bob. Left to right in the front row are Adriano DeFreitas (computer graphics technician), Roberta Harma (CSUN geology alumnus and Moorpark College Geology Faculty member), Diane, Ian, Doug, Topanga, and Humberto.
John, Pam, Vicki, and Sue make their way along the Pacific Crest Trail between Blue Ridge and Guffy Campgrounds.
Following a little behind the previous group were Topanga, Roberta, Adriano, Diane, Bob, and Humberto. George and Natasha, with their long legs, were usually in the front of the group. Ian, who found countless things along the trail to attract his attention, and dad Doug commonly brought up the rear.
At the junction of the Pacific Crest and Acorn Trails we paused for a rest and a group picture. Ian, George, and Doug made a totem pole representing various moods encountered on geology field trips.
Apparently we hadn't counted correctly before we took the previous photo. Adriano, who had been engrossed in photography, and Roberta caught up to us just as we were about to leave. So we took another photo to record the moment and added Natasha and George so that you could see George without his tongue sticking out.
Our knees and feet took a beating as we hiked three miles downhill on the Acorn Trail to Wrightwood.
We made it to Wrightwood and relaxed in the shade at the Pines Motel where many of us were staying for the night. Fourth from the left in the back row is Marilyn Hanna (friend and supporter of the CSUN Geological Sciences Department) who joined us for dinner and for the hike on Sunday (Day 9). Altogether, 14 people hiked along with Sue and me for various parts of Day 8. We greatly enjoyed their companionship.
We celebrated a successful hiking day with dinner together at the Evergreen Cafe in Wrightwood. Here's Sue, Pam, Vicki, George, Natasha, Doug, and Ian at one table. Our group was so unexpectedly large that they had to call back in some of the day shift to help.
Roberta, Adriano, Mike Werner (CSUN geology alumnus from Anchorage, Alaska, who provided car shuttle service on two different days), Marilyn, Diane, Bob, and Mike Werner's father (who came along with Mike to celebrate Father's Day in the mountains).
Beige Berryman (USC graduate student), Taylor Anderson-McGill (CSUN ecology graduate student), and Stephanie Kyriazis (CSUN geology graduate student) joined us for dinner on Saturday night and for the hike on Sunday.
