rhododendron Laurel Highlands Trail Mile 68 by John Morrow, on Flickr

On the PA turnpike, we've driven under the Laurel Highlands bridge many times and have wondered about the trail. I see that the bridge is around mile 37, whereas you were at the eastern end. Have you hiked much of the trail? If so, what's it like?

on the Puna Coast Trail to Āpua Point

the Ahu (cairns) are always this big here, so you can see them on the black lava fields

We had a fly by yesterday. Right over our head in the desert in the Petrified Forest NP and Rick quickly took a photo!
Cool contrails and we can only imagine one person being escorted by 3 fighter jets

Lupines along trails in Tucson









Amazing Saguaro shadow


Some prefer horseback riding on trail


On route to Wasson Peak, just after trail drama. 2 guys came running downhill on a much rockier section of this trail. The first guy was going fast downhill, turned while running (!) to alert his buddy of us coming uphill, but lost balance and ended up falling downhill in the cacti and rocks. Knee cut up, loads of spines in the knee and in the belly. Ouch!!! Rick dug out his tweezers and gave him plenty of antiseptic wipes. 15 mins later another couple arrived and gave him gauze and Tylenol. Hope he’s recovering well.

Lupines along trails in Tucson

Nice flowers! I saw some pictures taken recently by a friend of a friend, of an amazing superbloom of poppies in Tonto NF.
Meanwhile in the frozen north, this is all I've got from last week:

Fabulous to see lupine in March! Thanks for giving us a hint of what's to come elsewhere later on. Great desert scenery there!
