| partners | | The calendar said full moon tonight so Ginny and I did a short hike in Saguaro National Park from the Comino Loma Alta Trail Head along the Hope Camp Trail. We had done this trail many times before and thought take this trail to the Ruiz Trail and head up the hill and watch the sun set and moon rise. Got to the top of the hill right at sunset then sat down and waited for the moon to rise. No moon came up and was getting dark so we decided to head back. The moon finally rose on our trip back but 50 minutes after the sun set. The full moon was actually the day before. Not sure where on earth they are calculating the Full moon event but it is a day earlier in Arizona. Could have something to do with the Longitude and latitude differences from where they calculate. Next time I will head up a day early. Was still a pleasant hike, while we sat and waited we enjoyed each others company, felt like a teen ager in a 57 Chevy parked with my date.
Water Report, None. Trail Conditions, It's in the SNP so excellent. No issues walking in the dark (snakes aren't out) and when the moon did come over the mountain it was even easier to see. |
