4/22/12 Dry Fire Tank, mile 62.0, 21 miles hiked

At the beginning of the trail with Border Patrol in the background.

Thinking I would fill my water bottles at a fire tank on the trail, I stupidly passed a water source and paid for it by sending myself to bed with no dinner (or water) when I found the tank dry. I took a picture of Steve’s tent and the dry fire tank.

I have met a lot of nice people.

Today I enjoyed hiking down out of the Laguna Mountains with sweeping views of hecka-arid country to the east. The Laguna Mountains are a classic example of rainy lush growth (at least in April) on the west side, rain-shadow arid desert on the east side.
