Finally did the loop that I've wanted to do for a while now. Started at the house, ran up dry creek to the saddle of big baldy (what a slog!!) then ran down and over to the top of grove creek. This took some studying of the maps and trusting my gut, but it wasn't too bad to figure out. I filled my bottle up partway at the top of grove creek from the beautiful spring there, and then blasted down that canyon. Overall, great run, really tough. I didn't bring quite enough water, but it was overcast at the end thankfully, and it took about 2.5 hours to do it, although that doesnt' count some of the times I stopped my watch to look around and pee and stuff.
