Another adventure on the AZT.I did this hike a week ago so I'm a little fuzzy on the times.Dave met Bruce,Joe and I up top to set up the shuttle and I think we were hiking by 7:30 or so.Some nice vegetation in this area included lots of little flowers and LOTS of FOXTAILS!We saw a couple garter snakes in the first mile or two.Some great mountain veiws too.The southern trails continue to surprise me.Very nice.For a break,Joe introduced us to Hutch's Pool.Very cool and refreshing!A little while after that Joe showed us 3 Turkey's which surprised us all.From there it was on to Romero Pass for a lunch break.That stretch seemed to take forever and we wre spent by then.The views were great(Thanks Joe) and the break felt so good.From there the rest of the hike was slow and steady(Tortoise speed) but it felt better than the part before Romero Pass.The boulders in the upper section among the Pines always look cool.We had some nice clouds by then and the temps were great in the end.Another great outing with the AZT boys! THANKS to Dave,Bruce,and Joe! You guys rock!!!
