This wasn't the original trip planned since it was a little windy in the Gila Box area this weekend - so Ironwood here we come. Since we had a little weather this week, it was a tad bit cooler, allowing us to do this warm desert hike.

I didn't think I'd ever do Ragged Top again, let alone so quickly after my last trip (back in February). Both Belinda and I got stuck with teddy bear chollas. Ouch. The "trail" was overgrown; however, we didn't see, hear, or otherwise witness any snakes. Joel and Belinda both saw bighorn sheep. I just saw sheep droppings. Spent the night camping down the road with a nearly full moon lighting up the sky. (If these flowers ever slow down, I might be able to speed up on these hikes!)
