Great weather, though it looked like early monsoon season. Still, it was pleasant and cool. Either a manned, or possibly an unmanned glider buzzed the peak while I was near the top. Holloman AFB trains users in the drones, but this appeared to lack a propeller, so I think it was just a glider. Lots of hummingbirds at the ocotillo. I have fallen behind on my AEG for May, and was hoping to be where I am now when I left Tucson, so by now I would have closer to 18,000' for the month. I hope I can get it in, as my goal for the month was 30,000'. If the forest closes, while this can still be poached, it won't be as easy to do.
