More time with the Hupps
We wanted more time with family and friends in Tucson. One more round of thinning out stuff we don't need, picking up a few things we do, and getting Bertha ready to head east.

BACK COUNTRY CAMPING
... keep a move on and I would make it on time.
I was quite sore and tired along the trail and was really looking forward to laying down in a warm bed after a nice hot shower. The pack was killing my shoulders - this was the most annoying thing of the whole trip. That'll teach me to take a pack I'd never used before and load 35 pounds into it and expect everything to be hunky dory. There is a little bit of pride in suffering though, and I was proud of ...
