Yeah, the thought of being left behind by my wife, my kid and her young friend was a factor. Struggling alone and in pain down the trail sounds miserable, and misery loves company.
I feel ya on the white whale. This is my second fail at this trail. We went when Tara was in elementary school, and one of her school friends came along, but we got caught in a torrential downpour a day out of Glen Ellen, and given how slippery wet granite can be, we spent the day under a rock. After losing that day, we'd have to double time it to get out, so we turned around. Sometimes it goes that way.
We didn't get as far as Waterwheel falls. I think there are some falls before that too. We probably turned around just ahead of that.
I'm pretty bummed about it all. I'm still thinking I can make SDCC as long as I have enough pain meds. OSL too. Both involve a lot of walking but I won't have a pack, nor will I be miles from rescuers should something really go afoul.
