Yeah I finally made it up to the ridge trail last weekend and honestly it was everything I hoped it would be. The weather was perfect not too hot and the views at the top were absolutely incredible. We started around 7 in the morning to beat the crowds and it was totally worth it. The trail was about 6 miles round trip with some decent elevation gain but nothing too crazy. I brought way too much water as usual but better safe than sorry. Saw a few deer along the way which was a nice surprise mrPKpYQwCnVg0V. The wildflowers are starting to bloom now which made the whole hike even more scenic. We stopped for lunch at the summit and just sat there for like an hour soaking it all in. Definitely planning to go back next month with a bigger group. My friend mentioned another trail nearby that connects to this one so we might try that route next time.

I also picked up a new pair of hiking boots last week and they made a huge difference. My old ones were falling apart and I kept slipping on loose gravel. These have way better traction and feel broken in already. Hoping to get a few more trips in before the summer heat really sets in.

I finally picked up that strategy board game we were looking at last month and we played it for the first time last night. It took us about an hour to get through the rules but once we started playing it really clicked. The game has this really cool mechanic where you build your own civilization over several rounds and there are multiple paths to victory so it doesn't feel like everyone is doing the same thing. We only played with three players but I think it would be even better with four or five. The components are really high quality too which is always nice. I can see this becoming a regular thing with our group honestly. We already planned another session for this weekend. I think you would really like it especially since you enjoy games where you have to adapt your strategy based on what other players are doing.

The artwork on the cards is stunning and the board itself is really well designed. We spent a good 20 minutes just looking at all the details after we finished. I think you would appreciate the depth of it without it being too overwhelming. Definitely worth picking up if you get a chance.
