This will be my second solo hike this year, having earlier gone to Clear Creek.  I have been looking forward to seeing Monument Creek and Granite Rapids and completing another lengthy section of the Tonto Trail.  These new boots I bought six months ago are still giving me problems.  When I did the Havasu Canyon hike a few days ago, they put one huge blister across the ball of my right foot.  Moleskin is great stuff, but there is a limit to how much it can do to resurrect blistered feet.  With all the construction going on at Hermits Rest, I am uncertain I will get a parking space when I drive out there early tomorrow morning.
