This was my first hike in Az since April, and my initial plan was to make it a short 3 or 4 mile hike, check out some of my new equipment, and also see if I still knew how to hike off trail and locate things.
I foiled my own plan, and ended up hiking about 9 miles. I had a great time.

I started at Peralta TH, took the Dutchman Trail a bit, went off trail, and visited the Circle Azimuth Mark.
(I initially located Circle Azimuth Mark about 5 years ago, so this was just a revisit - No detailed searching involved)
I then rejoined the Dutchman, but instead of hiking directly back to Peralta, I took the Dutchman to Bluff Spring Tr and looped back to the TH on the Bluff Spg Tr.

When I started out, Peralta had 3 cars in the lot, and when I returned, it was filling up.
Also, while I was hiking, my Jeep Wrangler “made friends” with one of its own. A different model, but from the same family. You have to watch these “young-folks” all the time.
