Mission Peak in late June

Even though it was really really hot in the South Bay yesterday, that didn't stop Jogi and I from hiking Mission Peak. We started at around 6:30 PM (by which point we thought that the heat would be subsiding). But it was still 90° F when we started. And as I got there, the paramedics were just leaving (presumably from helping someone else who was suffering from heat exhaustion). And on the way back down, we saw a snake -- possibly a rattler. And we were attacked by crazy bugs. And did I mention how hot it was?

Anyway, it was totally worth it. It was definitely a fantastic workout, I convinced Jogi that men and women are totally equal, and I got some fantastic pictures:

I like the silhouette of the hill against the sunset.
