Only visible light was urban glow from LA, the Central Valley, and Las Vegas. Got the second summit at noon. Tired but a GOOD kind of tired......

It just seems to hurt a little bit more and for a little bit longer after you sit down. Photos: http://piotrowski.smugmug.com SpotCasting: https://maps.findmespot.com/s/9DDZ#history/assets
