Took a few hours to loop the Apache Creek Wilderness, clockwise from the south. The west side is a much rougher road than 95 on the east, but still quite scenic, and totally doable in a 2wd high clearance when dry. On the east, 95 is a much easier, faster trip and should be a good option for a car shuttle for anybody doing the Apache Creek trail. The north and south crossover roads are both county roads and easily driven by any vehicle.

A little off the loop, I stopped in on Cabin Springs as well. The infrastructure there was impressive. It's amazing how much use this area used to get and what still remains.

[ checklist ] Cabin Spring

	Apache Creek	Light flow	Light flow
	The creek was flowing at the FR95 road crossing to a depth of only about 6".

	Cabin Spring	Quart per minute	Quart per minute
	The spring itself is dry at the surface because the pipe that fills the springbox draws water from underground. But the pipe has a continual light flow into the springbox.

	Pine Creek Seeps	Gallon + per minute	Gallon + per minute
	I did not locate the source of Pine Creek Seeps, but there was a nice flow of water throughout the Pine Creek drainage.

	Seven Up Spring	Dry	Dry
	7 Up Spring is located on private ranch property and not accessible without permission. I did not observe the spring itself, but several hundred yards to the northwest is a large ranch tank that was full of water. It is also on prohibited ranch property.

	South Fork Walnut Creek	Medium flow	Medium flow
	The South Fork of Walnut Creek was flowing nicely from at least where it intersects FR9 downstream to the confluence with the North Fork.

	Stringtown Wash	Light flow	Light flow
	Nice flow in Stringtown Wash at least a mile upstream from this location down to its confluence with Pine Creek.
