Our group of 13 dwindled to 8 by the time our East Palisades hike started today, but - - as always - - smaller numbers allow for better chances of conversation with all of the participants.  Since Tony C. wasn't able to join us, Chris H. paid tribute to him by leading us on some of the more challenging, off-the-beaten-path trails that Tony knows so well.  We enjoyed the overcast skies and fog for a while and got the first glimpses of bright sunshine as we completed the two-hour trek.  We definitely got some heart racing climbs and steep descents in, and even crossed a couple of creeks.  Another terrific group and convival event thanks to Jeff W., Armin, G., Michelle, D., Chris H., Clay W., Eloisa I., and her niece Valery S.  Oh! This was Valery's very first AOC event!  Welcome to the club, Valery.  We hope to see you on hikes whenever you're again able to travel from Mexico to spend time with Aunt Eloisa.
