Misadventure
The sun went down at around 5:45pm, and then I started hiking back. There was only a sliver of a cresent moon, and the trail was in shadow on the east side of Calabasas Peak. So I hiked back, poles testing the ground in front of me, too stuborn to take the flashlight out of my bag. A hike is not nearly as fun (read: dangerous) if you can see.
