Sometimes the trail just doesn’t want to be filmed, at least that’s what I kept telling myself on the ascent, as I concentrated on inhaling enough oxygen to take the next step, and then the next, and the next, and…you get it, it’s the highest peak in Southern California, so lots of steps. Now, I could’ve made up for it on the way down, video-wise, but I didn’t because I was too busy chatting away with a fellow hiker, which helped ‘shorten’ the trek, as well as keep the surroundings safe from my nosy image hunting. There’s always next time.
