Awake at Six in the Morning I Was

Somehow I woke up early as planned and started my hike up Mt. Woodson by 7:30. It was very foggy for the first 30 minutes, then as I ascended above the clouds, the temperature rose about 15 degrees. My backpack weighted only 5 lbs., but my legs were asking me, "Why are you doing this? Didn't we just hike last night? How about some rest?". Well, I ignored my leg muscles and made it to the peak and back in three hours, which is a good time for me regardless. No more hikes until next weekend when I do some easy hiking at altitude before Whitney. I have decided to drive up on Saturday and camp at Horseshoe Meadows area. It is at 10,000 feet and should do nicely for acclimation.
