Guads are a "use it or lose it" thing. When I look at my legs now all I see is sun damage and crepe skin.

Today I did my mtb loop and I saw 2 women a few miles up and they were trying to figure out where to go. They didn't speak much English and I don't speak much Spanish but I told them the route as best as I could. I was worried they didn't know what they were in for. I went on and climbed to the summit and doubled back to find them going the right way and a lot further along than I expected.

I went to the next (4 way) turnoff to show them. Turns out they are very experienced hikers and are training for Mount Whitney. I really enjoyed chatting with them and when I left one of them said I had beautiful legs. I was so startled I didn't know what to say. It was a good day.
