Blanca and I started out early from Orange County. After picking up our Wilderness Permit, we hit the trail and made it to Suicide Rock by lunchtime. We enjoyed turkey/cheese wraps, Persian pickles, banana apple sauce and baklava. After lunch we headed back down to the trailhead. Tradition was kept and we went to Arriba's Mexican Restaurant for a Margarita and yummy nachos.
