2026 Diablo Day 39 - Wednesday Morning Juniper

Beautiful day. yesterday Charlie hinted at doing Juniper but didn't commit until this morning. So we took it a little easy to Junction, took a shorter than usual break, then went up. 

At Juniper you could really see and smell the smoke over the valley. AirNow says the air quality is "moderate"; with a score of 53.  It really wasn't too bad compared to times when we've had closer fires (like 180), but it was enough of a reminder that you don't want to be breathing TOO heavily.

Tarantula Tally: ZERO. Come on fellas.



My people    

Trail progress



I always like to stop here and make sure I have everything ready for the climb.
Batteries, bottle positions, have a HammerGel. Charlie puts up with my delay tactics.




Look at all that DATA!!!
