Took advantage of the cooler temps and made a dash into the Superstitions. We figured to do some exploring near BSM off Bluff Spring trail and then decide the rest of the trip from there depending on the temps. It was really nice, almost cold, so we decided to do the Whiskey West / Red Tanks loop. Great day, saw a rattler, a Gila Monster, and a good sized horned toad. Red Tanks past La Barge spring was pretty overgrown, had lots of bees, and high dry grass which made the foxtails annoying. There was a nice cool breeze almost the entire hike which made things pleasant even in the early afternoon sun.
