| no partners | | This is one of those hikes I first saw on HAZ many many years ago and always wanted to check it out but its far distance always put it too far out of reach.
Well no more excuses and after a weekend of shenanigans in the White Mountains and helping the Wilderness Boys with their annual spruce tip picking I set out solo further east to "The Blue".
No more hikers on the trail when I started around 3pm but the trail was still filled with traffic (deadfall).
The upper portion of the trail seemed to have the most downed trees and it became much easier on the feet as I made my way down.
Took a break at the confluence to bust out the new Manfrotto tripod which weighs as much as 10 bricks and doesn't even fit in my 55 liter pack but boy is it sturdy and immediately made a huge difference in my photos.
Although the quality of imagery on HAZ is not up to par and I've tinkered with the image resizing and dimensions many times but cant seem to get it right so if you want to see what my photos should look like please check out my website as it means a lot to me since I can see them full clarity and want the HAZ world to also. 
Saw about two dozen or more Mule deer on the way out it was ridiculous and along with the howling coyote I got to watch in the morning behind a pair of binos it all made for a great wildlife experience. |
