March 22, 2014  We hiked a really beautiful 11.5 miles hike today through the Sunflower, Passage 22 of the AZT. Parked at the Bushnel Tanks sign and found the “access” trail leading to the main trail.  This was new and really was great to be able to get to the AZT so easily.  We haven’t hiked this area in such a long time. Brought back some really wonderful memories of hiking the AZT in 2008.  There was 3 places to get water if we needed to. Paw prints of unknown origin and lots of frogs by the creek.  The cactus are in bloom along with Evening Primrose, we think.
