going for a walk

Today I researched good places to go hiking that aren't two hours away but aren't in the Tucson basin, either. So far I found several trails out of Madera Canyon, which some times of year are overrun with birders, and some trails out at Kartchner Caverns, where, unlike the caverns, the relative humidity will not be 99%. I'd pay more attention to Picacho Peak, but not only is it too low to escape the pollen, it is having an event tomorrow, which to me just means that the trails will be crowded and stinky.

We may not be particularly spry, but we sure can plan.
