Thanks man..I was just totally bummed out...I thought about going alone, but the little lady wasn't super keen on it..I have never overnight soloed and am looking forward to it soon..likely on this very hike.....i bet it'll be "exciting"...
I can't let weather make my decisions either....when you slate the time and have a limited amount of it...you just have to suck it up and go...he had a rain gear set and a rain cover....told him to plastic garbage bag everything, tried to impart any and all knowledge of wet weather hiking I could...he agreed to everything, but when he arrived it was like a different person showed up for the hike....
I ended up just heading up on Sunday and doing the sunrise pond loop myself in the on and off rain...it was great...noone around...hardly got wet....trails weren't too muddy...would've probably been a great overnight...
Oh well...im not planning any more with him in mind...he's done this before, and don't doubt he'll do it again..
Man I need new hiking minded friends...
