| no partners | | There's a bleating sound coming from Hutch’s Pool on Sabino Creek. Easy D says it comes from
the frogs who inhabit this little spot of Arizona Trail paradise. The waning moon will rise at
2:01AM so the night is dark and the stars bright. I've opted to leave the rain cover off my tent.
This gives me a view of the stars. To paraphrase Neil DeGrasse Tyson, I keep looking up.
Another drive from Scottsdale to Tucson followed by prepositioning vehicles. One at Oracle, the
other on the Catalina highway (parking free at the Molino Basin Campground for AZT hikers).
On the trail by 13:30. Nine miles in, dinner and time to relax.
This is a popular place to camp. To the South, a dad who hasn't camped in 18 years with his 17
year old son on his first hike. To the North, 3 older gents. One who was butt crack nude when
we arrived.
And the frogs, nocturnal I guess because they bleat like crazy for a minute or so then it's quiet,
crickets and the sound of flowing water from a pool as it swirls over granite stone.
Miles: 9.4
