| no partners | | Practice hike: a little different route where I stayed on the low side hiking WSW. Some of it I had hiked at one time and small portion of the regular loop. Lots of quail greeted me and cheered me on. Saw a hummer and tried to get pics but sun was in my eyes. Then I saw a rabbit, but too much people traffic and sun was in my eyes.
Made my way south and up to main circumference trail and then below per the 308 signage. Heading east I could see the trail ahead at a junction. Another hiker said nowhere to go but up shortly so I did that and swung back west on 308. Saw a white breasted bird, turned out to be a Kestrel; never have seen one out here. Pulled up some stinkweed that was easy to get to. On my way east toward Tonto 3, the coyotes started howling. I howled back.
Lots of hikers and dogs on this route; surprised me a bit.
WATCH: 2.86 mi, 4:24-5:29PM, 144bpm avg/166bpm max burning 500 cal. 75% max zone 5, 18% anaerobic. 282ml sweat loss. TEMP 71.5 sunny, 26% humidity (felt higher), 1.9mph wind from the south. |

For me, sometimes it's just as much about the journey as the destination.
Oh, and once in awhile, don't forget to look back at the trail you've traveled. |
