| Datil Wells camp |

| Datil Wells trail |
Packed and out of Datil Wells after coffee but no breakfast. I had a real tasty huevos rancheros and S had a slice of apple pie that no one seemed to know the origin of. Several hours later hit a big sprawly twin city called Safford/Thatcher checked out the local perfectly over-done lake recreation park just out of town but it was 97 degrees with sketchy shade so we made for the mountains rising just west of the city and quickly got down to mid 70’s and simultaneously rolled into Arcadia camp which required we write a check to USDA Forestry Services for $5.00. Same deal for the evening activity: S took off for a walk and I a little later for a bike ride up and both were good. I found the ruin of an old homestead on a rough side road where a row of daffodils were in bloom by a foundation wall.
