[pct-l] the Grand Enchantment Trail (and my grand re-education fromthis season's hikers)

Blisterfree - thanks so much for the botany report from the Sonoran desert.
My feet are itching but too many other obligations intrude at present - I'm
making them go away, one by one.

The Sandia crest is also lovely in the summer, after the monsoon rains wake
up the wildflowers.
