A quick hike during a quick stopover

Amber arrived in Mesa from Montana,  on one leg of her flight to Patagonia, Chile, which seems to be on the other side of the world.  Being the active one in the family, she coaxed us into a short hike up Lower Javelina trail. We enjoyed our short time with her, and after cramming her backpack with a month's worth of freeze dried food and a few clothing items, she was off the next day, this time leaving from Phoenix International. She, too, has a blog where she will be updating us as she can when near wi-fi.
