Had my revenge. Last week I failed to reach the summit the long way, but today, on another beautiful spring day with millions of wildflowers, I did. In spite of walking in full view of the Bay Area, for something like 2 hours I was entirely alone on the trail, not counting some cows, birds and insects. About 4.5h round trip including lunch, ~2000 ft up from the parking lot. Ed Levin Park, Monument Peak.
