Mount Baldy - Final Hurrah! - May 2017

This marked my last hike in SoCal before moving to boring Texas.
SoCal will always be home 💝

Jerry, Englebert, Deepika and myself started at 7.30am.
Jerry and Englebert kept a good pace and summited first. Deepika and myself reached summit about 40 mins after them.
Just as in when we were planning to go to Baldy notch, Murali showed up. 2nd group which started around 8.30am reached summit and we took some more pics.

Later on we all met at Baldy notch restaurant and grabbed lunch.
My last and memorable hike of 2017!

SoCal will be missed!

Iron Mountain - This way!
