| partners | | If you enjoy blackberry torture this is the hike for you! Mid to low 70's was the bait. Held like a champ with humidity that would make Louisiana blush.
Rim Trail #139 drops from a 4 to a 3. New Mexico Locust among other skin irritating brush consumes several miles. Murphy Ranch Trail #141 wasn't better. I just like it too much to drop a star.
We lunched just outside the ranch. Kids appeared to be having a grand ol' time yet struggled to fly a kite in the field. Cut the hike short since annoying outweighed enjoyable. Thunderstorms forming nearby made that choice easier too.
Heading down Abbey's Way Trail #151 was torture. The blackberry never let up.
On the brightside we only crossed paths with a few downed trees all day. Pants would have worked wonders. |
