Two easy and separate hikes today in the tolerably constant rain and sprinkles. The first was a quick CCW Bolt Trail / Radio Tower Loop to the 2332' Casa Grande 2. My third time at this summit in the last few weeks with foggy views mostly of the inside of some clouds, so on this trip, I missed scoping Ariona's premier city! There were a few other groups and solo hikers on the Radio Tower Road. Drove over to the east side Arica Road TH afterwards and wandered around on some of those trails until I was too wet for it to be fun anymore. No other vehicles at that carpark and of course, no other hikers. Some shooters were at one of the wildcat ranges south of Elzy Pearson again with some Tannerite, KABOOM!

A CGM ramble with the dominant theme of wind, including from the storm and the bullets whistling above!

Having completed the Ridge Trail a few weeks ago, I found myself bored on the trail this time. BORING. No challenge. Instead of continuing, I just turned around and went back to the truck, had a breakfast burrito, and went home. I doubt I'll do much more hiking at CG Mountain unless it is with the students. I've got the urge to see new stuff and challenge myself, not do the same boring trail. The view is uninspiring, the trail is not challenging, etc. etc. etc.

Finally hiked all the way from the Peart Trailhead down to the Arizona City TH junction and back. I've done the whole length now, woo hoo. Actually, it is not that exciting, but it is an accomplishment. Plus I feel happy I have now hiked the longest trail in the park. Downside - there is nothing more challenging to do in CG.

Working with the kids to get ready for Grand Canyon at the end of the month. Turned back a bit earlier than I wanted to, but still got in over 5 miles, which was my goal for the students.

Jammed this out with Hiking club in the AM before heading down to Tucson for the Pumpkin Chunkin' fest. Need to enter that next year...
Tore the hell out of my heels. Boots have been failing this year, and I was actually bleeding from the heel this hike. Old boots are now in the trash, and I am in the processing of sourcing new boots.

Took the hiking club out for a different hike this time, so they didn't get tired of the flagpole. 5 miles (a little more for me), getting them warmed up for Picacho. This next weekend will be a timed hike up and down to the flagpole, and the 1st of October we'll hit up Picacho. The kids are really into this and looking forward to it!

Took the track up to the tower and then followed the ridge to the top. No ridge trail back than. Interesting entry in the log from a trucker who often parks below the east side and makes the trip straight up from the truck parking area!
