I originally posted some of these pictures with a travel blog
write-up (and the link to the original was below). I decided I wanted to share all the pictures
I took of a particular area of point of interest, so some of these you will have
seen before if you’ve been following this blog for a bit. The link below gives more of the details, so
I’m not going to rehash them here.
You’ll see that as I’d gotten a digital camera around this time, the
number of pictures of an area has increased.
After my lunch, I found what looked like a relatively short trail
at Cockscomb, and figured that would be a good one to do. It was the middle of the day, and very
sunny. The trail was all out in the
open, without a lick of shade. And a
good portion of the trail paralleled a 4x4 path. I’d gone a distance when I encountered a
vehicle, whose driver told me the scenery I had now was pretty much what I was
going to get for the rest of the trail.
I figured I’d call it good, and head towards the Boynton Canon on the
very north of the city. That looked like
a nice wooded (shaded) trail, and pretty straight-forward. There was another group which had started it
a few moments before me. While it didn’t
take long to catch up with them, and keep up with them, they were doing this
one-way (as they were heading to a friend’s place at the end). I had to think about being able to hike out
of this, so I did about three-quarters of it before heading back. That was the good call, as I’d exhausted my
water supply just as I reached the car, and my feet hurt like hell from all the
hiking I did that day. It was worth it
though.
