Coe Wasno Pond and Willson Peak 050412, a set on Flickr.
Been suffering from some pretty bad heel pain from chronic plantar fasciitis but finally broke down and went to the podiatrist. He recommended a big nasty cortisone shot and long term some orthotics. So I did both... after almost crying like a big girl the pain instantly vanished. I was worried about it coming back so didn't hike the first weekend.
After this decent hike I could actually walk after getting out of the truck upon arriving home and this morning no pain at all. Of course other parts of my feet hurt but probably because I wasn't compensating for the heel pain.
Anyhoo -- a nice hike up through Grizzly Gulch, up Dexter, over to Wasno Pond and then back down to Tule Pond and up Willson via Serpentine trail. Variety of wildflowers is excellent but quantity's are way down for most species, they're also running a month or so later this year. Saw the most blue-eyed grass I've ever seen out here and some nice hillsides of Chinese Houses out toward Wasno Pond.
Lots of ticks so keep an eye out, I wear shorts in all weather so found eight crawling up my legs with one bite behind the knee another one made it up to my neck and also managed to sink his chops into me.
Parked at Coyote Creek free parking which still appears to be safe from tickets as long as you are completely off the road.
