Just lookin’ for an excuse…
Today’s target is the Molino Basin Campground. The trail is nothing like it was yesterday. For the most part, it is a path with very few boulder climbs.
I woke up at 7 AM. That all day hike up the mountain really exhausted me. Scott and I broke camp and walked into Summerhaven.
I say goodbye to Resting Oak and back to the trail to climb up Mount Lemmon. First, I’ll pickup a provision box. The new provisions are going to be heavy.
Resting Oak Air BnB RV. What a place! It has everything a house has. This is a super deal, which costs what a moderately priced hotel room would cost.
I was up early for my second day go around with the Black Hills. It’s like a roller coaster. The trail goes up and down a hundred feet or more repeatedly.

I wanted to hit 550 miles today. The trail had no single large elevation gain, but it did gradually go up most of the day. Still, I was making miles.
I was hiking south of Kearney by 9:15 AM. The trail was mostly up. It was a clear day and although hot, certainly not as hot as yesterday.
I decided to go into Kearney today for a couple of reasons. The rocks have finally got the better of my right foot. I’m going to rest the foot for half a day.
I took several breaks in the heat, which slowed me down. Despite that, I went over the 500 miles mark today in both map miles and actual miles hiked.
