Just lookin’ for an excuse…
I was on my way by 7:15 a.m. I’m headed to the Hampton Suites. There is a provisions box at the Vail post office, but I can’t access it until Monday.
I finished my descent into Saguaro National Park from Rincon Mountain, which I climbed the day before. The trail flattened out.
What a climb up the Rincon Mountains. I was hiking before the sun was even up. It was cold – near freezing. When sun came up, I started shedding layers.
I’m camped at the Italian Trap Trailhead. My navigation app says my hike for tomorrow is a 4,600 foot climb. Only the Grand Canyon beats that.
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.
