| partners | | I was exactly 1 minute late to pick Joe up - I never heard the end of it. I-10 was closed on the way to pick Denny up. Now running a little later. Missed the turn to the Catalina Highway in Tuscon, and we were 20 minutes late in picking Dave up at the North TH Shuttle. None of it a big deal, since this was to be a short hike (13.4 miles) by our AZT standards. After making the 10 mile drive down the twisty, rutty, dusty, target shot riddled Redington road, we were ready to start our 36th AZT passage.
The weather was just about perfect on this day. Blue skies with hints of our friend Fraley gracing us. Looking back at the previous section, you could see Mica Mountain with a thin blanket of snow still on it.
This is another nice area. Some may not like the rolling hills and grass lands, I find it intriguing and almost calming.
We've hiked many AZT Passages in which we never saw an official Arizona Trail Sign at the Trail Head. This passage had 4 of them scattered the length of the trail. I
The gang was all in good spirits and anxious to knock off another AZT section.
