A Hike to the top

I had some time ago determined that I would go back to Signal Butte and hike to the top.  Well, no better time thatn today since the weather was going to be very acceptable, no planned noon or afternoon showers, thunder or lightening… I gathered up a few things, mostly water and my small pack with radio gear. Then out of here.  I picked up a small sandwich and some more iced tea for the return from the hike and got to the base trail head about 11am.  It didni’t look like a very long hike, short trail but supprisingly it was over 500 ft elevation gain in a very short distance.  Not being in the best shape I did slow and stop several times.
