On 12/8/12 we hiked 12.8 miles in 8 hours and 12 minutes. This wasn't the plan but that's how it worked out. We started out at 7:36a and hiked in the brisk moring air from roger's trough. We made a stop at the grave and located a few pot sherds before moving on. Once on reavis saddle we took the spur trail and hiked over two false summits before topping out on White Mountain at around 10:30a. After a short break and some photos we bush surfed down the west side and heaed for the mesa. We stopped again at the big stone slab but after passing that I was zoned out and we crossed the drainage and went northwest. We followed the bear scat but the bear was going the wrong way. I was looking for ruins in Rough Canyon and realized we redirected. It was already past 12p so we set a course to intersect Frog Tanks trail and pushed our way down ugly draw. The future plan is to camp down by the Frog Tanks/Rough Canyon intersection and hike to the ruins and summit Cimeron Mountain while we're there. What do think Kyle? : rambo :

Once on Frog Tanks trail we hiked into Angel Basin and stopped in to show Mike the ruins. We seemed to be making good time back to the trailhead but it seemed like a long four miles getting back at 3:48a. Just as we were leaving we noticed a white Nissan Altima with Texas plates parked at Roger's Trough trailhead.

Must be a rental.
