Prepping for stop sign

Either Thursday or Friday I am planning on making it to the top of the canyon and to the big stop sign.  Boy, did I take my health for granted when I was walking to the top every day.  I have been doing the trail every day but not to the top.

Just a reminder that it was less than 12 weeks ago that I could barely walk!!!!  My knees were completely fluid filled, tender and painful.

On today's walk I was able to get a perfect picture of the top of stop sign.  I am about 1/6 of the way into the hike when you can see the ridge perfectly.  Remember, the full trail is 5 miles up 1000ft.  And really it is the last mile that is probably about 500 feet!!!!!! 

So, I am getting ready.  I'm not sure my ankles or knees are ready but I want to accomplish this before I leave.
