| no partners | | Decided to go deep into MAGA territory (north Pinal County) on the third day of the silly shutdown to complete two pleasant hikes for ~$175 backpay each.
I guess I’m a professional climber/hiker again…
1. [ Peak 3004 Loop - Goldfield Mtns ]
Overcast ascent up to the Bulldog Saddle via the Meridian Interpretive Trail (on accident, it was dark). Then west from the saddle up and across the ridgeline to 3004 or is it 3005? In the summit log, I dedicated this peak hike to Jimmy Kimmel Live! in honor of 1A. Poor Nexstar and Sinclair folded like cheap suits when they realized they liked making money more than supporting the U.S. Constitution. A short berserker descent NW to link back up with the loop and back down Pass Mountain #282 to the Meridian TH. Near the parking area, an odd guy was audibly listening to I Shot The Sheriff while letting his young pet dusky hawk hunt for rabbit. Apparently, his bird was successful and he thought celebrating with a random stranger was in order. The whole scene just seemed weird. Next time I’ll bring my pet cougar.
2. [ Cat Peaks Loop ]
Sunny and warmer start west over to the Cat Peaks area, passing a much slower Tortoise_Hiker en route (not the HAZ Rocks! one). Perhaps South Cat was first and North Cat was second, each peak dedicated respectively to Jeffries and Schumer because the Affordable Care Act subsidies are worthy. Just a bit of waxing nostalgically about McCain and the skinny repeal failure of 2017. I miss ol’ John. Evidently, I’m not the only one visiting this area who’s trying to save the world.  |
