Over to the Portal area of the Chiricahua Mountains for an overnighter with some friends to reestablish contact and catch up on things. We expected more people down in this popular area, but we had the campground to ourselves. As it was getting dark at camp we were treated to the sounds of a group of Whip-poor-wills and owls that were literally overhead! It was pretty amazing. In all my times out, I had never experienced so many that close to where I was sitting. :D

In the morning we went to the Portal Peak Lodge, Store, and Cafe for breakfast, followed by a little stroll around town. Back at camp, Jim and I packed up and headed home to Tucson, while the rest of the group went for a birding hike in South Fork.

As an added bonus, I got to briefly make it into New Mexico for the first time this year, as we drove in via Road Forks and Rodeo. :) I drove back out via the direct route to San Simon. Fun time!
