Mt. Judah 18X, Donner Peak 16X, August 5, 2021

HIGHPOINT OF NORTH VALLEYS REGIONAL PARK 84X, MT. JUDAH 18X, DONNER PEAK 16X August 5, 2021

With a dental appointment today, I first had a frugal breakfast. Then having to rush, bagged the highpoint of North Valleys Regional Park 84X. A ring had broken on the flagpole, so I fixed that with spare parts from the aluminum flagpole, left on the summit. Back home, I had my teeth cleaned at the dentist, then figured to place new pens on my register left yesterday. Motoring quickly back to the Donner Pass PCT trailhead, I noted that it was to be cooler today, with smoke to come in tomorrow.

Taking the PCT directly to the second Mt. Judah loop trail junction, I stopped by Roller Pass. Then to bag Mt. Judah 18X. with a pen left by someone since yesterday. I left two new fresh pens, so that was done. I like this loop hike, so will be back in a month or so to place a better register. Windy on top, I feared for some hiker to leave the register unsecured, and then blown away by the wind. I also bagged the north summit, then sauntered over to bag Donner Peak 16X. I had my can of diet soda, signed into the register, and took the PCT back to my car.

Time to get dinner, I got to the eatery right as they opened today. As they refuse convenience payment, I only got three items of sushi. I checked out the adjacent electric bike shop, and then motored back home, with a pb&j sandwich to curb my appetite.

Looking good for my cash out refinance, I shortly expect to get lots of money, then the use of my credit cards, so back then to fine dining. To get the new high end computer, and have plenty for high living. I'd pay this off in 30 years, so my monthly payments will be higher, but not unaffordable.

Based on what some hiker told me, I scouted the rocks up on Donner Peak, to look for this presumed class 1 way to the summit, but didn't see but cliffs and a similar scramble route to the summit. This involved downclimbing and route-finding, being a highly circuitous way to have to go. I now stand by my video directions, as this hiker was an aged, disenabled trail hiker, who refused to do the class 2 step to the summit. Her claiming multiple summits, I just take this as feeble mindedness or delusional, with potential hate for peak bagging ways. I run into all sorts of people on the trails, with one lady today to say my new register was the only thing unnatural on the summit. I see the ski resort and trail, then many warning signs about the ski area boundary.

With then their typical hate for registers on peaks, so goes many of the enviro hiking club. An easily removed op for hikers to leave their mark, I see still plenty of graffiti and etchings on rocks, a shame that taggers have to desecrate wilderness.

I don't vote yes on pollution, and no on saving endangered species. Easy to see what the enviro hiking club is really made of, check out their activities. Gas guzzlers in the parking lots, polluting non organic cotton hiking wear, and complete stupidity in their ways. Once commented that the club office building was not depicted in a movie about the future San Francisco, so I like it that their hate and destruction of the planet was removed from a good future. So we have massive blazes world-wide, and what else from too much pollution. I knew about climate change back in 1970, and strived to get people to change their polluting ways. Myself doing a lot of the driving, I always bought fuel efficiency, which many of them hate. Rather than 100 gallons of gas burned, I could round trip it to Mammoth from Sacramento on 11 gallons. All banned and boycotted by this Club, now it's zero emissions for me.
