SKIT: Preparations

ByPurple Haze Posted onFebruary 21, 2022September 22, 2025

I got my jury duty obligations postponed until after my hike so good to go! I plan on an early April start beginning where I left off in the Catalinas. There may be a chance for snow on the first high Sky Island, the Pinalenos, but probably OK. I found a webcam near the observatory on Mt Graham, so can get an idea for what to expect.

Preparations are going well. I am considering dropping a cache off Klondyke Road on the western flank of the Pinalenos and maybe one near Fort Bowie. I had a cache off Klondyke Road on the GET and it worked out well. Otherwise, I will have a resupply box at the Klondyke Store and mail one to Willcox.

Looking forward to getting back out there!
