A little break from politics this week and a focus on things more important… In the middle of December of the year now past I was on one of my epic backpacking trips in the mountains of Southern Arizona with one of my brothers-in-law and another hiking buddy. We were hiking up, and then down, the highest southernmost peak in the continental United States, Miller Peak, in the Huachuca Mountains, at nearly 9,500 feet/2,900 meters, enjoying the beauty of what is known as the “sky islands” of Arizona. They are called “sky islands” because these are somewhat isolated mountains ranges that rise sharply up from our surrounding desert wilderness creating a dramatic difference in the scenery between the low deserts and high mountains. And they provide some of the most dramatic views around.
