played hooky during a conference in Vegas :)
a long day of 30 km and 1850 m of gain... with lots of hiking (18 km) and decent gain (750 m) above 3250 m. Weather was warmer than forecast by ~ 10 oC, had I known would have brought more fluids. The hike is nice, views are great from the summit as the Spring Mountains are surrounded by desert on all sides.
