Birthday summit!

Jamie and I led our new coworker, Andrew, out along the Cape Solitude road and cross country.
We spotted a bighorn, some lion poo that my NPS buddies gather was about 2 weeks old ((my other coworker, Frank, went out the Cape Solitude on March 19th and saw the lion in the Comanche area))

At the summit, Andrew headed back, he had to work on Friday, and Jamie and I set up camp near the summit.

Our plan was to also reach Espejo but it was a brutal haul the way we chose, ugh, we're taking the road next time!! Less CHOLLA!!

I buried a tiny pinch of my Dads ashes on the summit at the base of a very tenacious pinon pine, enjoy the view Dad!

Around noon on my birthday (the 18th) we began our hike out and we're led out to the ridge by a soaring bald eagle!!! What a wonderful sight to see...

We'll be returning, maybe in a week or so to finish what we started with Espejo Butte.

Until then, you stay classy Hike Arizona ;)
