2nd grim summit of the day but totally worth it in the name of Peak Week (it's definitely about the journey not the summit here). A small city of cellphone towers and mysterious fenced-off sheds up here... first ever case of having too much cell signal, it was like 10-bars. Turned on my heels to escape the radiation and trailran back to Mountain Theater via Northside Trail. Along the way discovered Potrero Meadow -- an expansive, hidden place tucked away on the slopes of Tam. Very cool.
