| partners | | Another local hike that turned out to be far less distance than hoped for, but due to the more difficult route up the 'back-side' of Coon Bluff it took more time, and of course the extra effort.
One thing on the hike which was totally new was stumbling onto a dry water tank, more like an indentation where water will gather at times. What was quite baffling to me, was that over two full decades of hiking close by, I never knew it was there. While the Salt River Trail #100 (which I've literally hiked/biked several hundred times) passes within 200 feet of it, the vegetation in between blocks it from view. In 2020 I was within 100 feet, but the closest being roughly 50 feet in late 2024. So it pays to wander about... which I tend to do a lot of.
Another hike during which my hips let me know they were not happy. While sometimes my 'hip pain' emanates from muscles in the area, lately it's from the joint itself.
I usually feel better after bike rides so I've got to ramp that up again. Unfortunately I got off to a very slow start and never caught up... instead of 2500+ miles as in 2024, I barely topped 1900 miles in 2025.
Oh well, at least my hiking miles rose from 700 to 780 so it hasn't been a completely lazy year. |
