TONGVA PEAK & MT THOM

 I wanted to re-visit Tongva peak & Mt. Thom. It has been years since I did so. I invited Bill.

We began our hike on the Three Tees trail.  Then we hiked up a few steep firebreaks until we reached Mt. Thom. The photo-op rock is still there but with new graffiti on it. I have an old picture of one. Hopefully I can find it. 

Anyways, we continued on to Tongva peak. We had a break on the bench, and took the obligatory summit photos. Then Bill suggested to do a loop hike and descend the opposite way we ascended. It was nice. A longer way down, but scenic. The weather was good and we were the only ones on the trail until we got to the fork in the road where we met a few bikers. 

The clouds were amazing, and I found a few cool mushrooms and flowers
