Arizona Trail: Passage 1

Here it is, passage 1.  I'm hiking down the trail from the roadside overlook, toward the Coronado Monument on the border.  Of course I don't get there.

This is the beginning of a series that I intend to finish by chronicling all my encounters with the Arizona Trail.  I've decided to go in passage order, for the passages I've visited.  Some, like this one, I've only sampled by driving through by car and stopping.  This stop was on September 1 or 2, 2013, as Chris and I returned from a wine-tasting weekend around Sonoita.  I had decided to take the border-paralleling highway East Montezuma Canyon Road, and we stopped at the overlook.  Though we didn't actually do much hiking, we stopped at a number of trailheads on our way back through Patagonia (Patagonia Lake, and Patagonia itself).  As I explore more fully, I'll enter more.
