| no partners | | Picked up my dirty biking buddy Pammy to do my first 15 mile hike on the Pemberton trail in the MMRP. Arrived at the pay station at 6:30 this morning to find that the trail was closed for some event. DOH! We turned around and headed to the Fraesfield Trailhead in the Scottsdale McDowell Sonoran Preserve. I'm sure we could find some miles there.
Started north bound on Black Hill Trail to Granite Mtn loop CCW to Branding Iron to Cholla Mtn Loop CCW to Cathedral Rock and the Amphitheater to Watershed. Took a break at the Maverick junction to see how we were doing on mileage and find that we're coming up short. Headed northwest on Maverick and south on Brown's Ranch road to Vaquero with a short stint on Power Line Road #2 to Whiskey Bottle back to the trailhead. Made it to the jeep with 14.9 miles on the GPS, which Pammy said wasn't good enough!! So we went back out south on Black Hill to 136th Street Express north to Monument for an extra 1.4 miles to finish the day at 16.3 miles!! My longest hike ever! Perfect weather today. Mountain bikers everywhere! |
