Figured if I'm going to do the segment from Bronco toward FH 1058, this would be a good day. Fairly comfortable to start at 8:15am, a little breeze was helpful. No one at the TH parking lot. This time I started on the correct side of the road (east side), and I didn't have to worry about snow. On the way in I saw a roadrunner dart across the road, as well as a cardinal. I enjoy this part of the Maricopa Trail because it's more hiking than just in-town canal walking. Lizards, several more cardinals, and a squirrel were visible. Tried to get a photo of one of the cardinals but he wouldn't let me get close enough for a camera-phone shot. Still looking for that 100-pointer (rattler). They're out there somewhere. It's warm enough and I'd figure they'd be out in these more remote locations.

A few cacti and wildflowers in bloom, purple or magenta flowers.

I did 3.6 miles each way. Made it from the TH to a fence post marker at 3.6 miles before returning on the same route. Never passed anyone on the trail.
