| no partners | | Day two of the Pinals.
Woke up to a lovely sunrise, had breakfast, packed up the cookery, and decided to hike while it was still cool. Having avoided Pineline the day prior for fear of deadfall and angering my sister's foot, I decided I'd take that.
Pineline is pretty catastrophically burned but has lovely views to the west and south. At the junction with Middle, I kept going on what I thought was Pineline, but at the end of the trail there is a damaged sign that identifies that segment as Bobtail Trail. I enjoyed Bobtail, as it has a good mix of burn and extant forest, nice views, and is setting up for a good wildflower show too. Lots of lupines that have yet to bloom.
From the end of Bobtail I took the road back to Middle, then followed the section of Middle we'd avoided the day prior. There was no deadfall and the trail was clear and easy to navigate, but quite exposed. At the time I was hiking it was pleasant, but the day prior in the afternoon it would have been a tad warm for my liking.
Enjoyed some hammock time before packing up and heading down to Globe for lunch. Stopped at a Mexican place that was pretty busy, and the food was really good (especially the chips and salsa). Then drove home at a leisurely pace; fortunately there was not a lot of traffic and with a couple exceptions nobody else was in a super hurry either. |
