There is definitely something to be said about living on the road and being able to find the best doctor for your needs. <br />Looks like a wonderful hike, and you've given me something to think regarding my hiking shoes. Tim and I have both noticed that our feet hurt after any hike longer than 6-7 miles. The treads are still good through so we've been hesitant to replace. I think maybe new inner soles are just what we need. Guess a trip to REI is in order!Amandahttp://watsonswander.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-976785102152524635.post-28987719775299500072014-03-27T08:20:54.486-06:002014-03-27T08:20:54.486-06:00Thank you George!

I suffered for about 1 1/2 from blisters. But it sure was a beautiful hike. I'm glad your enjoying Tucson.JOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658713978278693047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-976785102152524635.post-67874493967331708802014-03-26T20:55:06.429-06:002014-03-26T20:55:06.429-06:00Thank you Sheila.

And we are hoping he will be good as new in no time. <br /><br />Isn't that yawn just too funny? I'm sure the horses and mules were very tired after their trek thru the canyon.

Now I have too to check out the crested. We missed the one on the trail. I was very surprised to find any water at all. I'm sure there was lots more in Feb when you went. <br /><br />I hope you will let me know about your new boots. Joe had waterproof Vasque boots and his feet hurt too. I'll let you know if the new inner soles help. They weren't cheap! <br /><br />Thanks for the well wishes for Joe.....we are hoping to back on the trail in no time!

We sent our very best wishes to Joe for a speedy recovery after a surgery gone extremely well! We have a friend that experienced the same thing as Joe, or close to it. But, he didn't have the MOHs first, they had to reopen the spot on his face the second time and this time performed the MOHs. His started with a bright red spot on his face.<br /><br />Again all our best wishes sent your way. <br /><br />Great, fun hike!!Sheila at WolfSongBlog.Comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05794935906093826368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-976785102152524635.post-29396751858849839622014-03-26T19:49:21.847-06:002014-03-26T19:49:21.847-06:00Isn't this just the best hike!

The falls at the end were really flowing and people were in the pools. It was a warm day for us. Glad you got to do this hike. There was a crested saguaro up on the bank to the left about a 1/3 of the way in. Also, there is an amazing, huge crested saguaro out on the nature trail that you have to see. After we finished the Seven Falls, we wet out and walked the Nature Trail to get photos of this crested beauty.<br /><br />I have the same hiking shoes you do, Gay. I love them but have found that if the trail is rocky at all, the bottoms of my feet hurt. Before we head west this spring, I am going to get another pair of boots with firmer soles just for the rocky trails. But I am very partial to these Merrills:)<br /><br />Hope all goes well for Joe.<br /><br />Love the yawn...great photos!!John and Pam (ohtheplacestheygo.wordpress.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10853924678665624403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-976785102152524635.post-63502305338847153882014-03-26T18:28:51.409-06:002014-03-26T18:28:51.409-06:00Yes, I am proud of Joe for going on the the doctor...Yes, I am proud of Joe for going on the the doctor....especially while we are still here in Tucson.
