The trail starts out by heading into a sandy wash. There are no cairns to mark the trail down here because they would get washed away in a flash flood, but it's fairly easy to navigate one's way through to the mountains. We had the GPS coordinates for the trail, which made it a piece of cake.
We each carried 3 liters of water and The Essentials. The weight of my camera and 24-70L lens was the most I wanted to carry given the elevation gain we would be making, so Bill volunteered to carry the heavy 70-200L lens. That is one of the toughest decisions I have to make before a hike; I need the wide angle for landscapes and the telephoto for wildlife...but the weight of both, especially since they are L glass, is too much if I have to carry a lot of water. Out here I need to worry more about carrying survival equipment than camera equipment. Good thing Bill doesn't mind helping out and carrying some of the weight for me.

I use a calibrated monitor with a gamma of 2.2. This means that on my monitor
I can make out the difference between all of the grayscale blocks below.
To see my images as they are intended, you should at least be able to see
the difference between X,Y and Z, and ideally between A, B & C. If necessary,
adjust the brightness and contrast on your monitor as needed.
