Going to have to read that. Have heard too many times to count that it is a classic must read. Hah great quote
Sneaky
eeek 7 miles is no stroll imo. Most I've done out here was 11 round-trip to Toms Thumb. Had put a pet to rest and needed to get away alone. Wee bit more than sketchy hike to do alone but in my head it was a must. All fun and games till I was on way down and minding my own business and came to dead stop. All the sudden their was a whopper of a deer staring me down. I'm like wtf you doing up here? and he blinked and then

all of the sudden my eyes focused and camoed like whoa behind him and all around was his flock of hotties. I had waltzed straight into Deer-A-Palooza 3 miles away from anything. Not sure why I survived that day but am still thankful they allowed me to pass unharmed. Can't fk around out here when hiking especially during Diamondback season. I used to love getting away and blasting motivational shit from YT through headphones while hiking. farrrk that man. Rattlers come out to either bask on the middle of a trail, making them quite easy to spot or they are coiled up juuuust off to the side of the trail enough for you to get smoked if aren't paying attention. I've had to bunnyhop a rattlesnake while mtn biking because the only other option was running it over and hoping it didn't tag my leg
Yeah that is the real deal. Right around me the mountains have no green lush trees. They are replaced with saguaro cacti pretty much. Those pics you got remind me of my days in CO from 03-08. Those mountains are pure gold as well
San Diaaaaago is only 6 hours from me. Keep me in the loopski
