had this azt segment in mind since it's doable for an out n back
linda kindly signed on to hike it with me
left town at 0530 and were hiking by 0730
upper 40s to start
headed north on smooth trail with not much elevation change
linda spotted four javelina running away from us
a few rolling hills and a drop down to a wash area with a windmill and rusted tank
the climb back out was the only real gain of the day
the last mile and a half were on a road
passed a guy doing some target shooting
got to the tiger mine trailhead and took some photos and a look around
took a little break on the water cache box once we got back to trail
the return went by quickly due to good footing and good conversation
vegetation included lots of yucca, sotol, grasses, a few juniper and plenty of catclaw
terrain featured good views of the several mountain ranges and some cool boulder formations
very enjoyable hike
linda, i really appreciate you helping me get this passage done - thank you!
