<\/a><\/p>\nWhen we made it passed the point we did the first time, the trail changed. \u00a0It became more steep and more on the edge of the mountain than the first part. \u00a0Needless to say, Scott did not like this.<\/p>\n It wasn\u2019t much further along that he decided that the last half of this trail was not for him. \u00a0I didn\u2019t come all this way to not finish so I took the pack with my water and left him behind. \u00a0This is the point where we split.<\/p>\n The remaining part of the trail was no joke and it kicked my butt. \u00a0Scott would have hated it! \u00a0There was no more protection of trees. \u00a0Most parts of the trail were right on the edge of the mountain. \u00a0The inclines were steep, the gravel was loose, and it was crazy windy. \u00a0Most of the trail was covered in chain link fence to help with the grip. \u00a0I pushed on and finally made it to the top!<\/p>\n Too bad it wasn\u2019t a clear day! \u00a0Now that I was at the top, I wondered how I would get down. \u00a0There were so many steep inclines to get there, that it meant now I had to go down them! \u00a0My legs were like jello. \u00a0I texted Scott to let him know that I made it and asked him to call a helicopter to come get me from the top. \u00a0I was only kidding. \u00a0Kinda. \u00a0I stayed up top long enough to catch my breath and take in the smoky views and then made my way down. \u00a0Slowly and carefully! \u00a0I took it nice and slow and stopped a lot to take pictures.<\/p>\n I eventually made it back to where I left Scott. \u00a0We sat and enjoyed the lunches that I had packed and I got to rest for a bit. \u00a0Then we made our way back down. \u00a0Scott had to go back through a couple of places that he really didn\u2019t like.<\/p>\n Here is the new bridge that they put in to replace the washed out one.<\/p>\n We both made it back without any injuries. \u00a0I\u2019m glad I was able to complete it this time. \u00a0And since it was the warmest day here in Seaside since we\u2019ve been here, we finished the day relaxing on the beach.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
