| no partners | | Tibber got me hooked on podcast, aka audio crack. I realized that instead of ducking(lowering) other audio on Route Scout, silence when RS is speaking is preferred for podcast. After over a week with several AI agents, I couldn't get it to work on iOS, so it's strictly an Android option in RS settings.
Podcast are cool but I really need to get back into my Sinatra Metallica mix before I graduate to TED talks or bottom of the barrel talk radio.
Last week @JuanJaimeiii gave me a great Route Scout newbie perspective. As a result, a key stat should be stumbled upon easier.
I combined JJ's perspective to a perspective chums gave a couple weeks ago to the layout of files on the File page. I'm happy with the results but I know that just like switching columns on the homepage of HAZ, someone will go through withdrawals.
I stumbled upon Bursera Canyon recently because Telegraph was closed. Hopefully a raid to eliminate the Tesla Twins from soliciting at the trailhead.
Expecting the dullest of dull Tonto Grand Canyon or Bajada SoMo Inner Basin, I found it refreshing.
On one hand you have the constant roar of the freeway. The allure is the majesty of the Estrella's smackdab in front of you. Yeah I've seen them. Yeah I've been there but this showcases them like Humphreys approaching Flagstaff.
The cherry on top; the short canyon ascent is really cool because geology-wise it's not just rock like most of South Mountain, there's actual dirt. The top switchback catches a breeze like the ridge of Gila and the Goat Lode.
Since the name of the game at South Mountain is renaming trails I think we need to rename the Lost Mine side of Prospector to the Holy Luge. It's steep going down vs pure bliss ascending.
Unexpectedly passed a 20yo near noon heading up midway and then a guy in his 50s on the lower slope. Both had hiking poles.
After countless headaches of stopped activity recordings with Apple Watch, I finally figured out water lock is the way to go so your sweat doesn't become hidden gestures.
Perfect weather to enjoy the Palo Verde highlights. |
