Apple picking and hike in the Pinalenos. Preston and I both picked 30 lbs, and then hiked to High Peak. Really excellent air quality and visibility. 4 Peaks, Ord, Mazatzal Peak, the Mogollon Rim, Nantac Rim, Baldy, and the Mogollon Mts were all clear. The valley looked good, too.

Despite finding several boxes of never planted and long dead seedlings, perhaps hundreds of them, there are some half decent spruce and firs slowly establishing near the top. Maybe in 20 years a return to see the emerging forest. There are a few douglas firs mixing in naturally, and even a ponderosa. It was a little chilly and windy, but I think it was better than the Canyon wind forecast.
