This intersects with the ascent trail I usually take right below Eagle Rock. That part was bad and the nice rolling traverse over to the Patsy&#8217;s Mine cutoff felt great. Then the switchbacks. Baking in the sun. Ugh.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">At the top I took the Centennial Trail up to where the fire trail turns. I wanted to see what centennial looks like, because it would be a very fun route to take to the top. Way overgrown. Bummer. I bombed down the fire trail 03 and soon found that it was more overgrown than I had heard. Lost it a couple times. To make matters worse, friends have been seeing lots of rattlesnakes lately and I wasn&#8217;t too excited about Bushwhacking. Luckily &#8211; no encounters &#8211; but I was nervous the while time. The lyrics to a Lateef and the Chief song about snakes lurking in the grass kept running through my head. (Read about they on my music blog, <a href=\"http:\/\/desertislandmixtapes.wordpress.com\/2014\/09\/06\/snakes-also-lateef-the-chief-best-of-me-ft-gift-of-gab\/\">Desert Island Mixtapes<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The Hornet Canyon Trail was a bit of a let down too &#8211; lots of loose gravel skree. Doesn&#8217;t make for a fun descent. By the time I got to the car, it felt like I had gone a lot farther than 5 miles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I blew through about 1.5 liters or water. I should have filled it with the full 2 liters.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_704\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-704\" style=\"width: 676px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/img_27671.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-704\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/img_27671.jpg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"The Autumn Leaves are Starting to Pop!\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/img_27671.jpg?w=3264&amp;ssl=1 3264w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/img_27671.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/img_27671.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/darkgoldenrod-hedgehog-874350.hostingersite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/img_27671.jpg?w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/darkgoldenrod-hedgehog-874350.hostingersite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/img_27671.jpg?w=1920 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-704\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Autumn Leaves are Starting to Pop!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It wasn&#8217;t even that hot today but I have sweat like this for a while.
