Happy St. Patty's Day!
Day 4: We slept really well and got an early start. Ready for Passage 3. Wait, MORE Canelo Hills?? Bleh. But a long grassy savannah is cool. And a small riparian area gave us a glimpse of a coatimundi as it ran across the trail! But then the green went away, and the trail lead us into the most desolate wilderness.

(That's about the spot where I left my poles behind and had to backtrack to get them.)

Then Harshaw Road leading into Patagonia was miserable. Roads are hard on hikers' feet.

But finally! Patagonia, pizza, and a real bed for one night!
