This was basically walking Yuma Road all morning. Started at the center in a shopping plaza, hiked to where I left off last week, then headed west to Jackrabbit Road and turned back again. The east half was a lot of sidewalks again, plazas and subdivisions. Got another glimpse of the boneyard I walked by last week. Seemed to be less planes parked there, which looks like a sign of the economy picking up.

the west half was a little nicer, lots of open farm fields to walk by. Definitely more pleasant than walking through a regular neighborhood, but not much to write about. On the edges of the fields there were several half built homes, so it seems like the agricultural component here is on borrowed time.

The weather was nice. Light rain driving out and at the start. The clouds kept the heat and sun away for most of the morning. Rain was visible all day from afar, looked like mostly virga, never reaching the ground. You could smell the rain almost the entire time, as well. Breezes picked up at times, making it very nice.

Just a few more hikes and I'll have the MT hiked in its entirety. Until they finish the last spur out to Buckeye, anyway.
