This is the first time our schedules matched up since the end of April. Taking advantage of the cooler temps and cloud cover, we headed to the Pinals. The low 70s to start were welcome for the steepish six-mile climb to the Rock Ladder.

Sixshooter is in generally good condition, with only a few downed logs easily hopped over and some mildly encroaching brush.

Ferndell Trail is also in good condition, with what appears to be some semi-recent trailwork.

A short trip to the Rock Ladder and then to Pinal Peak followed, where we ran into a large group of tower workers with no humor whatsoever. Temps were 64 at this point and almost cool at times.

The Middle Trail and the Pipeline Trail were up next. We passed some volunteers working on Pipeline. A short road walk back to Ferndell and down the hill on Sixshooter wrapped up the day.

It was good catching up with Joe.
