Huachuca. Sounds kind of like: Waa-Choo-ka.
You’re welcome.
I have been hiking & backpacking lately in southern Arizona on the Arizona National Scenic Trail. I do it as a form of therapy and enforced quietude. It’s often so silent, so beautiful, and so rugged, that I get swept up in emotion unexpectedly.
Here are some recent pics and video I took while hiking from near the Mexican border to a place called Parker Canyon Lake.
I did it over 2 days. It was about 24(ish) miles, about 5,500′ of climbing and ~6,500′ of descending. Believe it or not, the descending was my least favorite.
360º views at 9,400′!!! There was a group of college kids up here for a picnic. One of them called me “sir” so I made her take my picture. This was only a little dicey Bathtub Spring. Delightful after a hard climb! Sunset out the back door Sunrise out the front door Chicken Enchiladas and cold beer with my FIL afterward in Patagonia, AZ. Yummy.
