Ok. I'm kinda new at this. I thought, it's 71 degrees today. I'll start out wearing shorts and I can always zip on pant legs when I need them. So, I headed out with my small lumbar pack, forgetting that my pant legs were in my larger pack. Then, I took an unknown but inviting looking trail that petered out after a half mile leaving me to bushwhack my way back to a trail, any trail. An hour later, and several falls down gravelly slopes of acacia, cacti, and other sharp objects, I hit the Shrine trail and quickly made my way back to town. Of the four miles and 1,000 feet of elevation gain I covered, about a mile of that took about an hour-and-a-half, the remainder of the trip taking the other hour.

| I thought I was in for a treat: Great views of the Chiricahuas. |

| Smiling and wound-free. I think I lost the trail soon after. |
 |
| Yeah. No trail. |
