| partners | | Day 1 of an 8-day road trip through Southeastern AZ. Had lunch in Benson and left our vehicle at the Cochise Stronghold B&B just outside the campground. Great place, BTW.
Had never hiked the Stronghold before. Was a bit warm at the start, but some of the trail was shaded and the scenery was great. Even a few wildflowers left to enjoy and there were even hints of Autumn colors here and there. Enjoyed the Saddle and then headed back down. Explored the campground and its informative signs about the history of the Stronghold.
We'd brought chili and other provisions since its a ways to any place to eat and most are closed on a Sunday night anyway. Hurried through dinner and went outside to catch the total eclipse. With the moon still below the eastern hills, it was seriously dark providing a great star gazing opportunity. Even saw a few meteors. Took advantage of the hot tub to watch the eclipsed moon rise above the eastern hills. Made for a nice end to the first day of the trip. |
