| no partners | | Today, I hiked the first & last third of Hau’Pal; plus bits of Alta, Bajada, Max Delta and Crosscut.
T-Bone no longer exists: It is being remediated. Same with most of Warrior.
If you are tempted to use the trailhead on 19th Ave. -- instead of Vista or San Juan -- don't drive straight down 19th Ave. For one, it gets medieval between I-10 and I-17, but worse is the at grade RR xing at Lower Buckeye. Ugh. Fifteen minute delay while they shuffled cars. Instead, take 7th Ave., then bop over to 19th on Southern.
Normally, I like a bit of warmup before a climb starts, but Hau'Pal heads straight up. Trail's in good shape with some step-ups. At the top, Hau'Pal splits left & down. I went right, along the ridgeline.
Alta was in its usual good shape, though there were a few eroded spots. (Obviously from previous monsoons ...) Halfway down, I ate lunch at the "stone chair".
On sat view, the San Juan triangle is still unfinished. In reality ... still unfinished. Which may explain why I saw tissues dotted throughout my day. 
If you hear shooting, no worries: That is the police academy, ~⅔ mile away.
On the way home, I stopped at Mickey D's. No shamrock shake!?
