Lovell Limestone Lumps

I've done a lot more lately, but somehow these solo trips, for body and soul recovery, seem notable. I have been up First Creek Overlook 7x, Oak Creek Overlook 4x (not the same as the 52-peak-club "Oak Creek Overlook;" my the most memorable time on a Bidge-Rainbow-Wilson one-day hike), up "Major Decision" 2x, and peak 6587 2x. But Peak Four and Profile Point were new to me.

For both hikes, I
started at the end of
the 4x4 roads just
after sunrise, at 47F.
The magenta route
is my guess for a better
route to the western
peaks.
