Take a Hike

Joined Charles on his annual Pinaleno camping/hiking trip. Got down there mid afternoon Friday and set up at Columbine Corrals. Others arrived later. We had between 15 and 20 folks for 5 camp sites, so we shared spots. Site 6 in the middle was our campfire/party area. Good times as usual. :) Most folks set out with Charles at 8 o'clock Saturday morning for the big hike down Ash Creek, going past Oak Flat. I headed out around 9 to go as far as the Falls, at a leisurely picture-taking pace. The original route to the slick rock is no longer maintained, so it is very overgrown with lots of deadfall to navigate. Still worth it though, as this is one of the highlights. Took the bypass route on the return to avoid the hassle and made real good time back to camp (beer).

Strong flow in the creek from the summer rains.

Sunday morning some did the short hike up to Webb Peak, while I sat around in camp having breakfast and coffee and slowly packing things up. I was the last to leave at around noon. Storms all around of course, but we lucked out and never got hit by any weather the whole time. There was a lot of lightning Saturday evening, but we never heard thunder. I missed a good storm at my house in Tucson about 5 o'clock Sunday morning that dumped .80 inch rain along with a 40 mph wind gust (that's a little unusual for that time of day). But, I was home to enjoy another storm and more rain Sunday evening. :D
