May 19. 4,300 vertical ascent, Mile 548.6. About twenty miles.

Sure validates getting miles done yesterday.

Trees and cactus and bushes and more.

Some great water.

Facebook has a lot of pictures that I took.

Cuba in 79.4.

That was us at the trailhead. Someone left a case of Gatorade there.

We started hiking up the side of the mesa as the sun rose.

The higher we got, the more vegetation there was.

Then the flowers started.

We could look down and see Grants.

This stretch has a bell to ring, a wash tub, a propane grill (no propane) and some other random items.

But the trail had beautiful trees

And it had water flowing from springs into stock tanks. (This picture shows the tank you don’t want the water from).

And a great place to camp sheltered from the wind. Just down hill from here.
