9 Miles of Vertical Smiles



The soreness is soaking Lork Kadizzles body today after the nine mile hike yesterday through the Chiricahua Mountians. The Commander and Kadizzle had been there before, but it was nice to see it again. Finding a place to camp was a bit of a problem because the Denny camper was low and long. With a bit of luck the Park Ranger agreed to let us stay in the horse camping area. As we arrived a helicopter was just leaving the ambulance which had hauled a hiker with broken bones down from the mountain. Hiking it was easy to see how the person slipped on snow and ended up with a compound fracture. The weather was perfect and many streams were running that had been dry for years. Now the band is watching the sun come up at the Senior Center parking lot in Sunsite AZ. Looks like another great day and another long hike to Cochise's Stronghold.
