Driving out on Bush Highway my throat was already raw before I reached Granite Reef picnic area so I made a quick u-turn and headed out for AJ, surely I can find something over that way, and the Goldfields should provide a nice barrier to the smoke.

I began at the Meridian TH and headed for to the saddle east of Peak 3004. At the saddle with a pretty good view of the extent of the Bush Fire I could tell this was going to a long-burning and wide-spread fire. I decided I'm here, I might as well complete the loop, which seems to take a wider jaunt to the north than I recall, but then it was 7-8 years ago when I last hiked it.

Took the shortcut down a minor drainage into the wash, following it most of the way back. Warmed quickly but humidity already in single-digits and brisk breeze I felt nice and cool.
