| no partners | | Day Two of our trek to Patagonia. It was a cold start, which meant slow; we hadn't struck camp and finished filtering water at Bathtub Spring until 10am. The water in the tub was frozen on top, and I had fun breaking it up with my trekking poles.
We did a full water carry for the next stretch, as it seemed unlikely to get a refill before Parker Canyon, which was our destination.
Hiking the Crest of the Huachucas was gorgeous, certainly one of the highlights of the trip. The conditions were delightful and the views magnificent.
Sure enough, the long descent to Parker Canyon was dry. It was quite sunny and warm down below.
We made it to Parker Canyon before dark, and set up camp on the hill just south of the canyon. We got enough water for dinner and breakfast, and planned to fill up again in the morning. Another couple hikers were camping by the stream.
With no real wind and warmer temperatures, I didn't bother with my tarp and just slept under the stars and moon. When I got up the next morning there was a little ice, so there was a light freeze, but I was in my warm bag and didn't really notice. |
