| partners | | john and i decided on a one night backpack for this azt passage
we set out from doll baby trailhead around 0815 friday morning
temps were in the upper twenties, but it didn't feel that cold
took the road portion to jf ranch and waded across the east verde
filtered water at whiterock spring/tank
had to carry four liters for a few miles
rock creek canyon is about halfway, and we wanted to get beyond that point
found notes on a good campsite a couple miles further uphill on far out
14 mile first day, rolling into a very nice campsite
we set up camp, made dinner and enjoyed a small fire
long night this time of year, and it got down to 35 degrees or so
coffee and breakfast saturday morning before setting out around 0810
warmer today, very comfortable hiking temps
lighter packs after the dry camp with a shorter hike out
met bruce with six to go and the remaining miles went by quickly
lunch at thai station and bruce took us back to doll baby
big shout out to bruce for helping us with logistics
nice to get another passage done
saw some javelina along the way
saw six thru-hikers, three friday night and three saturday morning, all sobo
trail was mostly in good shape
it's very rocky in places and there was one section of catclaw
lots of juniper trees and some more open areas
one pocket of maples near oak spring
a finishing climb into pine trees at the end
fun to do this as a backpack - it's been awhile
good times
