I wanted to do about 8 miles today and had a route on the west side of the Hawes Trails in mind, but when I arrived at the paved parking lot is was full. Now what, I thought. I drove around the bend to another parking spot and consulted my map, and pieced together a five mile route, much shorter than I wanted. The thought then struck me that I was getting kinda burned out on these trails, and maybe I should just go somewhere else. Nah, I decided to stick with it. Headed up the mineshaft trail for a little cardio (lots of flowers here), then down Saguaro Trail and onto Saddle Trail. Along the way, I decided to start following a wash and that led me to some great fields of wildflowers. I cross country and found myself in another wash and followed that upstream. I had wanted to explore up this wash anyway, so I followed it until it became too much of a pain to push through. I ascended a ridge and followed that for a while until I intersected a new trail I'd never walked before (Boulderdash). Lots of wildflowers on the rockier slopes. Turned out to be a great walk after all.

One more trip out with the kid before he heads back to school. On the way up he said he used to think this was a hard trail but now he doesn't think so (he's still sunburned from his trip to Quartz Peak with a buddy). Plenty of color on the trail, but most poppies didn't seem to be fully open. Some fellow stopped us and said he heard a rattler on the trail, but never encountered one. We checked out the cave just east of the saddle, but my son was somewhat alarmed by the large beehive in the ceiling so we didn't venture in.

Short hike with my kid, who's home from college for spring break. It had been about four years since I brought him up to Wind Cave so we did that this afternoon... Thirty years of age difference is starting to show. :sweat: Enjoyed the "cave" and then home for an Argentine malbec and a hearty meal of cream chipped beef on a shingle.

Thinking I should have my ashes scattered out here... someday! Looooong time from now!

I keep running into people who need help. Today was one I couldn't do much for... Bike crash. All I could do was walk with him to the road.

Nice 7 mile loop on the east side of the Hawes system. Lances, Jumping Jack, High Noon, up Red Mtn Rush, Goat, and back down Alpe d'Huez. That was a good cardio work out but my knees are showing their age. A few poppies on the ridgelines but nothing spectacular.

I hadn't been up on top of Pass Mountain from the south end in a long time. Today seemed like as good a day as any to correct that. I decided to make the full transit of the ridgeline for once. I think I'm getting to old for some of that terrain... At least that's what my knees are telling me. Crossed paths with a YouTuber narating their hike. He was saying something about the solitude on top and how he was the only one up there. :lol: I'm standing there 20 feet from him.

One last walk in the desert for January. Spent most of yesterday hauling and spreading gravel in my yard, so I opted for something a little easier today. Took a gentle little loop through Usery. Lots of greenery out there.

Replacing a geocache that I decommissioned last week. Took a little work to find a nice spot in the wash just off the Wind Cave Trail, but find it I did.

I had a geocache on Tonto NF land, just up a wash off the Wind Cave Trail, in need of maintenence. I trekked out via the long route from the north to get in a little exercise. Founds my cache and decided to retire it based on the condition of the lid. As I was looking at its info online, it dawned on me that I had planted it 12 years ago to the day. Where does time go?

Great day to be out... Overcast and pleasant. This was my first visit to this part of the preserve. While I am heartened to see so many people out enjoying the preserve, I was glad to lose the crowds after a mile or so.

I promised myself a New Year's Day hike, rain or shine. Mission accomplished, but I need better rain gear.
