in this episode I take a quick solo hike up the Deer Springs Trail to the summit of Suicide Rock in Idyllwild California. Since this is the first hike I've done in this area since the tragic Mountain Fire that burned over 9,000 acres here last summer I wasn't exactly sure if the trail was even open . I also wore my luna Sandals and a Mountain Hardwear Elkkommando Hiking Kilt and tested out a vintage piece of military gear... A Swiss Army Breadbag.
