| no partners | | First hike with much elevation gain in a year and a half. I have been riding my bike more lately, and walking some. It took me a long while to walk up this thing, and my hip hurt a lot coming down, so I had to take Ibuprofen and Tylenol, sit down, and wait for it to kick in.
On the steep part, I walked up the road. There is also a trail, but I'll save that for later, if I am able.
On the fun side, it was a pretty day, I met a lot of nice folks and a few friendly dogs, and I enjoyed the views.
The ocotillos have no leaves, but they are blooming, perhaps in a last-ditch effort to reproduce. There has been no rain in months. I just spent 10 minutes trying to figure out when the last rain was in Yuma, but NWS website always defeats me. Maybe someone else knows how to figure that out. It's looking pretty dead out there.
A lot of elephant trees along the paved road. |
