The Beast - I joined up with some friends from the hiking group 3H (Hiking For Health and Happiness) to do there annual "La Bestia" hike. This hike took us to five peaks, 2 campgrounds (one where we bbq'd), 29.2 miles and almost 8,000 feet in elevation gain. Wow! What hike with some great people. The leads for this group knew what they were doing and took care and responsibility for everyone on the trail.
