We had gorgeous overcast weather that day! Our original goal was to head up to San Jacinto--but due to fire damage the trail (from Humber Park and Devil's Slide) to the peak was closed [unbeknownst to us until we hit yellow caution tape on the closed portion.] Our only option was to bag Tahquitz Peak instead. This actually was a really nice re-route as I had just climbed the face of Tahquitz the previous month--but had not actually seen the true summit. It was very pleasant, and we enjoyed the now leisurely hike. The sky grew darker, and right as we reached the summit it began to drizzle. We ducked into the (luckily open) fire tower to wait it out. We spoke with man assigned to the 'look out job' that day, signed the register, and collected our 'squirrel cards'. Then we had an hour lunch and an hour nap on the summit boulders. Meanwhile a storm passed over San Jacinto, we dodged that bullet, because we were dry and cozy on Tahquitz instead! We plan to come back some time for a quick one night backpack jaunt.
