Due to a last minute camping trip, I missed going long Saturday morning.  After spending the day working around the house, I knew I needed to get some work in, so off to Freedom Hills, just after sunset.  I knew the darkness would limit my number, but I can't fall behind.  On the third trip down the switchback trail, I rolled my rt ankle so far that I felt it up to my knee.  I'm lucky I'm small, and don't put that much weight.  I foolishly persisted, and did two more, descending much more slowly and carefully.  There's a certain spot on the trail where I heard some critter hissing at me each time I went by.  By the 7th time by, I decided it was some reedy plant scraping on a rock in the wind.  But it hissed at me on my final climb; I remain unsure what the noise is.  In any case, I was glad to finish.  Afterward, I went and got scraped around the tennis court by my son.  He's quite a player, whereas I haven't played much tennis.  It's too much like pulling weeds; most of what you do is pick green things off the ground.  Good times, though.

77/100.
