L->R Doug, Les and Jon.
It was getting dark. Again
this picture do not show the perspective of the cliff. It was much
magnificent in person than this picture can tell.
Time:
4:32:05 PM
We arrived at the Zealand Hut at around
5:15PM, the Hut was packed with people, I didn't bother to wonder in there.
I rested on the bench outside, sipping my still hot, hot chocolate.
It would take us another 1.5 hours to get
to the parking lot. I hiked without headlamp, but Don and Dean from time to
time would shade light on tricky path. I looked up the sky from time to
time, to see the milky way. The night sky in the wood is so beautiful.
6:45PM, we arrived to the parking lot, the
air was very very cold, I hopped into Jon's car back to Lincolnwood trail
head where I parked my car.
This was by far the greatest and longest
hike I have had so far.
