Campo: The Trail Provides

Great afternoon hike and the trail did  provided.  

We saw more flowers than we thought we'd see on the whole hike, a panoramic view from the southern terminus where we both had expected it to be a dreary dusty hole next to the border fence.  The fence itself we've nicknamed the Great Fence of America.  It is artistic in the way it carves into the landscape and it is the biggest thing around. It dominates.  There is also a lot of granite which surprised both of us.

 We saw a racer snake, ravens, birds, horny toads, lizards and the trail in the sand of a very wide snake.  Very wide.  Ominously wide.  

The trail also provided out of our backpacks to a young lady and man in the way of giving away Mark's dirty girl gaiters, and water and our probably unwanted  advice.  

 Now we sit on Hauser Mountain at 11.8 miles.   Great day, we feel good.
