I'll be leading a troupe into the Supes for 3 days of fun, hiking, exploring (and cartwheels, can't forget the cartwheels!) So of course everyone is welcome and encouraged to join us.
Day 1 (friday)
Roughly 2 1/2 hour drive from Peoria (where I live) so we'll plan on a 4am depart from home for an early start.
Depending on who all will join us I may opt to leave the night before (because I love night hiking ) but we'll take a vote.
We will begin at Reavis Trailhead (Reavis Ranch Via North #109) it's roughly a 9 mile hike to Reavis Ranch, there we will set up base camp
Day 2 (saturday)
From our base camp at Reavis Ranch we will head out to visit Circlestone and finish it up with a group bagging of Mound Mountain's peak at 6,266 feet. Shouldn't take the entire day to do this but we'll use the entire day to explore.
Day 3 (sunday)
Lazy morning of exploring the area followed by the 9 mile hike back to the vehicle(s) at Reavis Trailhead and home in time for supper!
3 days in the Supes, doesn't get any better than this....well, unless you're Elisha Reavis a century or so ago...

Ahhh....no....I'm a fair weather backpacker....I work in crappy weather, I used to fish in crappy weather, I used to live in crappy weather....I'm done playing in it....
Lifeis not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty & well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, totally worn out & proclaiming,"Wow What a Ride!"
I wish I was there. I have two buddies (non HAZers ) that headed up today that were trying to get to go. I tried to find someone to watch my kid. Oh we'll. this Spring for sure.

I wanted to go too but had way too much to do this weekend.

The next topic will be 3 Days in "Therepy" with The Hippy Hope everyone has a good time. It should be exciting to read all the trip reports and view the photos
On every trip into the Superstitions, I find another Gold Mine. Today the mine was filled with Memories. I can not wait for the next trip.

Either that or 3 Days in Therapy from being with the Hippy.....

Initial report: rain, wind, snow and ridiculous amounts of fire. And also the best ranch dinner ever. Turkey roasted on a spit over the fire, mashed potatoes, stuffing, lobster Mac n cheese, delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies, and mass amounts of alcohol. Plus a goat.
More details will follow in the triplogs...
I'm not sure what my spirit animal is, but I'm confident it has rabies.

Already read the trip reports about "Winston" the goat. That is pure genius!

I knew I had seen Winston before this! Glad you posted those. I'll try to make a "Goat" label tonight. I think Sirena has some cool Goat pics too from somewhere down by Tucson....

You may not be able to see how much he has grown.. I rekkon he was 40 pounds when I first met him. His owner guessed he was 120 ish..this weekend out at the ranch. I would say a touch more. Either way. It was cool to see him and his owners again.
