Went car camping with the family for the holiday weekend, staying at Rustler Park. For a holiday weekend, it was pretty quiet.

On Saturday I hiked the Crest to Cima Cabin, hoping to see that the Forest Service had fixed the roof since last year. They hadn’t, but they had replaced all the trail signs. That was nice! The signs were so new they were shiny… as shiny as wood can be.

I love hiking the Crest in August. The wildflowers are out of control and so are the raspberries. I’ve determined that the bears in the Chiricahuas are slackers, as there were so many raspberries just falling off the bushes. I helped lots fall into my mouth and into a zip top bag.

I still had room for lunch, which I ate at the cabin. I collected water from the creek, and it was delicious.

On the way back I picked up a free shirt. It was wet and full of holes, which probably explains the price tag.

water report recorded in the field on our app Route Scout Didn’t bother with the spring box, just collected from the creek. Very clear, cool, and tasty.

water report recorded in the field on our app Route Scout Most of the water is trickling into the overflow and there’s plenty of clean water in there to scoop and filter. Lifting the lid on the spring box isn’t worth the effort.
