Mountain men

What started as a phone call from Brandon to go on a fun hike today turned into a crazy expedition as he, Joel, and I went off-trail in the Santa Monica Mountains to get to the top of a small mountain that was calling out to us. It was a struggle through brush to get to the top, and then we skirted the ridgeline to get to a couple other peaks, but then it started raining and we had to find a way back down as quickly as possible.
