| no partners | | Not quite the trail we set out to do... well the trails were right my understanding of mileage and altitude were confused with another trail. That other trail was Sonoran Preserve Long Loop posted by MEWhiteman which somehow I got mixed up with one of my tracks and accidently posted the track as mine, but studying it trying to put together a triplog and failing to have any memories of successfully convincing Wendi that she wanted to summit two peaks in one hike unneccessarily, I realized my mistake. So though I deleted the errant track that I posted, the bar was still set!
Well we didn't quite match the track we did hit two summits. Though we added another mile and a half and another 100'of gain than we anticipated. Wendi took it all in stride and we survived.
The views were pretty sweet from the Ridgeback Overlook trail, we skipped it the last time we were up here, I wont ever again. Saw a two new lizards to identify, but to fast for pics. Both were above average size for the most common lizards but one a had very distinct pink and black striped tail but mostly black, my first guess on that one was a juvenile Chuckwalla but just a guess.
The bikers were out in force but everyone shared the trails well. |
