| no partners | | What a day in the north Tucson Mountains. I love this area. Every time I come here something cool happens. Today was no different with my Great Horned Owl encounter. I scared it up as I was hiking (or falling if you will) down the ridgeline and thought it was the hawk I heard earlier. Only when I hiked by the the cave and let my eyes adjust did I realize I was starting at a massive owl. Wow!
Weather could not have been nicer today. I actually met a few nice folks up on Panther Peak, which is relatively surprising for this neck of the woods. As nice as today was I definitely paid the price....knee is bad and getting worse. I hope my surgery will help.
I must say if you are ever in the mood for an off route desert ramble and you are in the area, you really can't go wrong in the northern Tucson Mountains. Yes I am biased, but they totally rock. |
