Started off the 4wd road just past Hillside Spring and nearby Bootlegger Saddle. This really cuts the stats down and was done to save time. Trails hiked were all clear of dead fall and well maintained, just a little loose and dry in spots.

Visited both Flys and Chiricahua Peaks. Flys Peak was more scenic than Chiricahua Peak. Chiricahua had little to no view and was completely forested. If not a one and done, it will be a while before I return to Chiricahua. Hiking back was hot after 3 PM. I thought Buena Vista Peak the next day was the best summit of the trip.

We camped the night before and after at Rustler Park, which was very nice. It was virtually deserted for the holiday weekend. Breezes during the day briefly turned calm and cold both nights for several hours after sunset before milder air and severe gusty winds arrived. It was really weird and made sleeping hard. After the 2nd night we visited Barfoot Camp and we agreed that it would have been nicer camping in the shady Ponderosa and Arizona Pines at Barfoot. I left for home and Mike was going to stay the night there.

We had intended to meet up at Pinery Camp. There is no sign for this camp site, no tables and it is pretty small as well as primitive.
