 Golden cottonwood near Mormon Lake where I stopped off for lunch at the diner/bar |
 There were a few trail registers along the way where it was always fun to see who was ahead |
 Late afternoon water collection |
 This one looked too muddy for me so I happily hiked on |

 I dropped down off the Mogollon plateau area and skirted the escarpment towards the town of Pine on the Highline Trail |

 Water and shade lunch stop with Firecracker on this hot low elevation stretch |
 I got in the way of waking up before 5am and starting hiking by 6am |
 Checking out another water tank- it was good! |

 Signage was pretty much always good, this one helpfully showed 200 miles to Mexico |
 Oh no, a water bag burst in my backpack, a great drying spot though at High Jynx Ranch |
