The sticky clay mud was bad enough that I'm going to do what I haven't done in 550 miles of AZT hiking- abandon the trail and just walk up the road to the next access point 😅
(Lovely down in the pine forest, though!)

Rain clouds in Arizona wine country -
Hiking on the AZT, south of Mt Wrightson.
Patagonia and Sanoita are around 4000 to 5000 ft in elevation and actually have a climate amenable to grapes 🥂

Sun breaking through after the rain.
Great clouds this evening over Phoenix and Scottsdale.
(And I'm definitely liking the new version of the Sigma 24-70 so far)

Alas! Big Fooj has gone to a new home (where I assume his owner will have more sense than me try to carry him and a tripod up high mountain climbs).
