Bah! I dont need no stinkin' world series!
While everyone else was stuck inside watching that stupid black box in their living room, I decided to take advantage of the lack of traffic on the trail.
Ok, I didn't plan it that way, but it certainly seems to have worked that way. As we headed up Reddington Rd (Tucson), there wasn't a single car around. Only 2 or 3 parked at the trailhead for Tanque Verde falls, and not a single person at any of the 3 most popular shooting areas (first time I have ever seen all 3 empty), and in fact, not a single person shooting anywhere along the road.
We made it to Chiva Falls without seeing a single person (although we passed a broken toyota left along side the trail), and didn't see the first other vehicle until we were eating lunch at Anello tank (at the end of FR4426A)...and that was a solo KTM. On the way out, we started seeing a few hunters, but no one else.
We managed to spy a praying mantis (on the broken toyota), and a small covey of Montezuma Quail at Chiva falls, a whole bunch of frogs around the few pools left in Juaquin Canyon, and a few white tail along the way out.
The roads are getting a bit rougher than they used to be...not really any more difficult, but the smooth sections are getting smaller and smaller.
Overall, it was a nice afternoon.
