Went out to my beloved Muddies & camped for a night. I climbed the Star Wars Trilogy in Gale Hills for the second time. This time I chose a different route & did an out & back. Wonderful weather & hike. The neatest part is finding a route up through the cliffs. I went over two new lumps as well, that I dubbed Han Solo & Chewy. I won't add those to the database as they have little prominence, but the views from them are well worth the detours.. Once up top, the hiking on a network of sheep trails is pleasant & easy. The views are excellent. I camped near Birthday Cake II & made a large plein-air painting while there. Wonderful weekend! West End Wash Road is in pretty good shape. Gravel isn't super deep. **Note - One (of many) reasons I haven't uploaded many GPS files for my hikes is that I wander. I take convoluted routes, detours & side-trips to get good views or investigate things I see. If you upload my files, be aware of this.
