Sunday, Apr 6 was a beautiful day and I decided to day hike Cochise Stronghold Trail. I got gas and coffee at the Circle K in Tombstone at about 9:00 am and made it to the West Trail Head at about 10:00. Got underway at about 10:30. What a great trail and very nice drive to the trailhead.
I hiked to Cochise Stronghold campground and had lunch in the shade on a picnic table. Relaxed a little and headed back to the west side. About a 4.5 hour round trip. What a great way to spend a day.

Wildflowers Observation Isolated
Very few wildflowers. Hope that changes soon.

	Halfmoon Tank	1-25% full	1-25% full
	Halfmoon Tank is looking and smelling a little rough. I would make water from it if I had to, but luckily I didn't have to. The good news is there does not look like there have been any cows at the tank. It will get better with the monsoons.

	Johns Well	Dripping	Dripping
	This is really a cement bathtub. It is about 1/3 full. It has been a very dry winter and hope we get some good moisture this summer.
