Looking for multi-day loop from First Water OR Lost Dutch SP

I'm interested in parking either at First Water TH or the backdoor access to Lost Dutchman SP and doing a multi-day backpack, not necessarily all on trails. Up to 5 days or so.
Maybe up Siphon Draw over to Superstition Mtn, etc
Any suggestions?

start: first water t/h
go up second water trail and hike to the lake via boulder canyon. either walk the road or hitch a ride to tortilla flat.
enter Peters canyon and hike until you find a spot to chill. this could be 7-10 miles.
next, continue thru Peters until you reach Kane spring. fill up and move on to Fish creek. hike until the xsection of frog tanks, chill.
after that, south on Rogers trail to the JF. take that to Hoolie beggin' and enter Trap Canyon. be careful, there are 2 sketchy spots.
you'll prolly camp at Charlebois.
then, cruise on Dutchman past marsh valley and into Needle canyon, back onto the boulder trail, then go south to pick up the Black mesa trail, and leave it entering a drainage that passes to the west of Yellow Peak. this goes north off trail back to Boulder, and make your way to First water via Second water. that's 5 days' worth.

You forgot Peralta Trail in that mix.
