One of my coworkers has gotten a few of us started playing disk golf every week. I have played a variation of disk golf a few years ago using cheap frisbees, but I never realized it was such a huge sport until now. I was a little overwhelmed when I first walked into Title Nine Sports to buy a regulation size disk. There were two walls of disk ranging from putters to long distance drivers and I could also buy from an assortment of disk golf bags, disk golf shoes, and disk golf clothing.

Larry, Sam, Jaime, Doug, and I did a 7.5 mile hike to Triangle, Tamarack, and Ralston Lakes in Desolation Wilderness. We started the hike with a ferry ride across Echo Lakes which we compared to a boat ride at Disneyland. The ferry took about 2.5 miles off our day so we could hike a little further and still make it home at a decent time. It has been quite awhile since I have done any hiking in Desolation Wilderness and it was nice to reacquaint with the beautiful views. At lunch we discussed how surreal it felt to wake up in an urban environment and just a couple hours later we were walking around giant granite scapes and glacial lakes. As the name suggest, Desolation Wilderness is pretty open, so we decided to do a little cross country getting back to the car.
