Supes day today. We got started from First Water around 0715. Warmish temps to start, but some high clouds. Took Dutchman to Bull Pass, then Bull Pass up to Black Top Mesa. The moments of shade were nice. Nice break atop the mesa, with a good breeze.

Continued east on Bull Pass, a moment on Dutchman again, then north on Cavalry. The east half of Cavalry could use some work. The trail is vague and brushy in spots. At one point, Kelly was leading, and she stopped abruptly and said “cameras.” We obeyed immediately and got some nice pics of a Gila monster on the trail. He looked a bit underfed. Lunch break in some shade, then the western half of Cavalry was in better shape. I wished the breeze had stuck around. Saw two sort of lost hikers. We provided no helpful information.

North on Boulder Canyon. West on Second Water to finish the loop. I never like the rocky sections of Second Water. Saw five backpackers. Overall, a very quiet day. Great hike and company. Fun day.
