| partners | | This was just a quick trip to stretch our legs after the long drive from Phoenix to Chiricauhua. We didn't have much daylight left and we had to set up camp. The drive up to Rustler Park was very pretty and the occasional peak through the pine trees was a breathtaking view. We thank Wendy for the primo recommendation!
The last of the months long storm season was passing overhead and we walked along through the cool pine forest beneath dark skies to the sounds of thunder. The views from 8500' left me breathless (or, maybe it was the altitude!  ) You could see the rain all around and it found us eventually, but it was just a light gentle rain and we barely got wet.
We hated to go back so soon, but we needed to set up camp before dark. Out there, dark takes on a whole different meaning. The stars at night were just amazing! Angela put up a good fight to get a campfire going with the saturated wood there and eventually won the battle. We sipped on some Margaritas and crashed early looking forward to Chiricahua the next day. |
