Mt Wire today...beautiful afternoon.  It has been 5 months since I went up this bad boy and I got off the trail right off the bat for a bit, but anyway  got back on and everytime I go up there remember that this is a buttkicker of a hike and relatively relentless for most of the way up.  Crossed over a snake about 12 inches is all but scared me none the less.  I always start getting spooked and wonder what I would do if it bit me...hobble down to the car I guess and hope I lived.  ANyway, cool views as usual and radio screens always kind of eeriely cool.  summit in about 47 min.  

Wanted to try a different way down so took off North side to try and find the "Living Room"... again got off trail too early and went along the ridge above that area and came straight down on it.  Was cool to see it... wish I had a ice cold beverage to sit in one of the sandstone loungers.  Bushwacked and slide down some other random trail and ran all that I thought possible back to BST and car.  Fun adventure.
