This should've been a pleasant, enjoyable hike. Unfortunately, there were people shooting guns all around me, all day. It really stressed me out. I had hoped to go up Stocker too, but I just wanted to get out of there. The lichen covered rock on Pigs in Zen was wet & very slick. Luckily, everything was dried out by the time I got to Lonesome. Very pretty area, but the shooting really ruined it for me. Some of it sounded like machine guns. It sounded like a war zone. One person was shooting less than 100 feet from the main road into Nelson & very near where I parked. I descended Lonesome & went back a very pretty canyon. There were even big oak trees back there! Maybe someday I'll comeback for Stocker and/or some of the other stuff around there, but frankly, there are places just as pretty with no shooting.
