Was all packed up and hit the road at 9.30am I was hopefully going to find an old volcano crater but I only had directions to the trail head so no expectations…..it was a bit cloudy but then got sunny and I turned off the highway about 4 km outside of town passed through the very small very clean village of Los Barcas
to the trailhead
X is where I think I need to be…
the start of the trail and it was up hill but easy to follow and the views back into town and of the the Presa(lake) were very nice!!
Saw a couple of other hikers on the trail one having lunch!!!!
So far it was all up hill so lunch was very welcome
the trail was easy to follow until I got to this gate absolutely in the middle of nowhere
From here there was no trail and I did follow the creek bed up hill for a while but soon realized I was just getting higher and higher…… part of me. the obstinate part, wanted to keep going but the sensible part was telling me to return the way I had come and the sensible side won out so I turned around and came back.
It was a good hike and I enjoyed the solitude , the views and the exercise…
Came back to town and did some chores before coming home……
Hoping now it will not rain before morning so I can at last play tennis this week…..
I want to wish all my Canadian and American readers a very happy and safe long weekend!!!
Yashi Koshi!!!
