It was 90°F when I arrived at Jones Peak. I stopped at an In-N-Out Burger in route to have dinner. The line of cars at the In-N-Out Burger was at least 1/8 of a mile long. Cars were lined up from the order window, down the restaurant drive-in lane, through the shopping center parking lot, and back to the city street. I opted to go inside of the restaurant and take my chances. Luckily, there was a car leaving the parking lot as I turned and provided a quick parking space. There were only 3 people ahead of me in line, with two In-N-Out employees taking orders. I'm glad I didn't wait in the serpentine line at the drive-through.
I'm full and I'm tired. The ascent of Jones Peak in 90°F heat is not at the top of my list of things to do tonight. During the walk, I notice that some of my cairns were disturbed. Is this the first sign of vandals? Walking a little further, I see that the more sturdy cairns are still in place. In fact, some of the hikers have added to them. The disturbed cairn may have been caused by the recent swarm of earthquakes.
