Day 53 - Boots on the Ground

Spent the day in Kartchner Park.  They had two hiking trails, and I knocked them both off in the same day.  They weren't especially taxing, so not setting any records here, but the desert heat does take a toll.

The park is located in an long flat valley with low-lying mountains on either side.  You can see for miles.

Here's a few shots of the landscape

Also had to take more pictures of cactus.

Thought the flowers on this one were rare.  Then I noticed them everywhere.  Maybe just the right time of year.

Finished the day with some work on the motorcycle.  Still had to wire-up top box I picked up in Washington.  All went smoothly.  I now had a much brighter brake light.  Not sure why I didn't take a good picture of it.  Here's the only one I have from that time frame.  I should have a better one later.

Signal lights are a little hidden from the top,

but easily seen from behind.

Tomorrow would be a light touring day.  Everything was now ready.
