Linda agreed to check out a couple lookouts again. We were going to add Gila if we were up for it. The first looked to be made different than the rock ones the CCC built.

The second one sure blends in good and looks more like the CCC work.

Cool area too! The weather was surprisingly nice! We felt fine and decided to add on the Gila Lookout Trail. Nice little extra climb. The top looks to be redone with new asphalt, fence etc.
From there it was back down Gila, across National and down Telegraph. Linda found a tiny dead snake

but would not let me count it as my first snake sighting of the year!

Great weather, exploring and company!!
Thanks Linda! Like HAZ, you rock!!
