| partners | | | we were camping at camp site number 1 along gardner canyon road and i couldn't believe how few people were camped out there. the weather was perfect, save just a bit of wind. i looked at the map and discovered there was a little hiking trail from tunnel spring to bear spring - it didn't look too difficult, so we committed to doing that one (and we drove right to the trailhead). a lifetime ago i remember doing a hike with a meetup group that randy led - return to ditch mountain. i was kind of hoping to go up the mountain again to earn the peak beer that i packed, but bobby wasn't into it. the hike was perfect for us, since we hadn't been doing much recently - not too much elevation, so we made pretty good time on this one. i didn't actually see the bear spring, but we enjoyed a break at the creek, where i had a non-peak beer in the shadow of mount wrightson. |

Wildflowers Observation Isolated
saw a couple of cactus that were just about to pop: very upsetting that the claret cup and the rainbow cactus weren't showing yet. the new mexico thistle were out, and some scattered verbena. |
