Despite what I wrote in my last log, I realized that I simply had to go back out. I was to just be "smart" about it, however. I went up and down the same route, I stuck to the gully, and I avoided hazards as I could. I cliffed out only once and in the gully, and only ran into catclaw, which still tore me up but was better than cholla. I bled more, though. I also got tired of the cobble road and since the last time on it threw my tire balance out, I stopped much lower and added some elevation. The walk in is nice, and actually the desert out here is worth visiting even if you aren't going to the top.

Conditions were a little nicer this time, but it is rather humid from that low in Mexico. The views were hazy and it was cool, but still above "normal". I much prefer 80s. Some grass is losing it's green, but there are abundant bird calls.
