| no partners | | This morning I randomly chose a trail from the McDowell Sonoran Preserve that I hadn't done yet and then cobbled together a loop incorporating it. The winner....Wrangler Trail. Nice little single track trail that stretches in front of Brown Mountain. A slight rise in elevation as it crosses one of several slopes that come off the mountain...very minimal though. Ideal for biking or jogging. I did a loop going counterclockwise Brown Ranch Road Trail - Wrangler - Cone Mountain - Hackamore - Latigo. Just eked 5 miles which was the bare minimum that I wanted to do. Got caught behind three horsemen which was a little frustrating, but luckily a split in the trail came up shortly and they chose a different route. (The last time I tried to run around a group of horsemen I took out a barrel cactus and "carried" parts of it back to my car embedded in my leg. Needless to say I chilled this time until our paths separated).  The Brown's Ranch TH was fairly full when I got there at 6am, but I didn't see that many people on the trails. In addition to the horsemen about 12 other biker and hikers. Wildlife included chipmunks and rabbits. Love these trail!! Wish I lived closer. It took me as long to drive out there as it did to do the run. |

. Turned 50 last week. Happy to have neck, back, knees in good shape and after changing my eating habits I’m back to my high school weight - so can’t complain. Grateful for a spring morning of solitude. Back to Mom shuttle duties soon.

Did a couple of loops. Stumbled across what I think is the Granite Azimuth Mark about 2 miles from Granite Benchmark
