| no partners | | Not sure why RouteScout didn't load my rain break. I really don't know how long I stood next to a very large bush under my umbrella while the rain came down. Anyway, I wanted to get in a quick little hike before Wendy arrived at the hostel for the Arizona Trail Days Flagstaff event on Saturday. The weather looked inclement but I decided to go for it anyway. I went off the route to go check out the back side of the park where the AZT continues and then came back to the route. This loop is called Nate Avery Trail in case you get up there and start looking for signs that say Buffalo Park Loop.
There were a few others out and miscellaneous wildflowers here and there that I decided to photograph. Don't know that I'll be able to ID them (the wildflowers that is) but may work on that later. I got caught at about the 1 3/4 mile mark in the rain and decided to wait it out a bit during the heaviest of the 15 minute downpour hikearizona.com/pho ... .php. Didn't want the bottom of my light pink jeans to get dirty so rolled them up before continuing on and finishing the hike.
Next, with a couple other volunteers we went to Beaver Street Brewery, Dara Thai (so good, especially the Coconut mojito) and finished off at the Hostel's Nomads Global Lounge. After all we had to fuel up for our event tomorrow. |

Oh, and once in awhile, don't forget to look back at the trail you've traveled. |
