| partners | | Short hike today near home on the Quilter Trail. Heard the flowers were out and putting on a magnificent display. That rumor was correct they put on a spectacular display. Hiked to the first water crossing on the quilter just before it gets serious and starts heading up hill. Headed up 1.35 mile wash about 200 yards before deciding it was going to be a wrestling match with the brush so opted not to go any further up stream. We did head down stream about .25 miles, much easier to navigate. Took an hour break where we ate lunch and worked on our sun tans. Headed back the way we came.
Mount Wrightson to the south was showing off it's snow capped peak and Rincon peak did the same. Must have been pretty cold up there because the trees maintained a snow covering the whole day. Good flow in 1.35 mile creek but not so much that it couldn't be crossed with ease. Ginny was lead hiker when she ran into a rattlesnake on the trail. I didn't hear it at first but Ginny jumped in ways I have never seen before. We stopped and took pictures. Called back to some hikers that were about 200 feet behind us and warned them of the snake. They seemed to be reluctant to come any closer. Not sure where they are from but I got the impression they thought the snake was going to chase after them. Last hike in the Tucson area for a while as we are headed to Lubbock for a few months. We will be stopping off in the Chiricahua Mountains for two days and Organ Mountains in New Mexico for 1 day, Have to get in a few more hikes before getting to Lubbock. |
