| partners | | Looked to be a nice day, so we headed up to Spur Cross with the intent to hike past the petroglyphs up to the old 6L Ranch. Was windy and a little cool at the start.
Saw two folks at the trailhead who had some questions as to where to hike and see some saguaros. Course there were only a few hundred in view at the time, but I made what appeared to be a well considered suggestion (while noticing they had no water and no idea either). Crossed paths with a commercial trail ride group not long after we set out, and then saw no one else the remainder of the hike.
Hadn't been on this trail since back in the Spring. The results of the monsoon flooding is still evident and has altered a few of the creek crossing (we had 16 wet crossings today). Spent some time reexamining the glyphs and metates before heading on up to 6L. Had lunch and then spent some time with my hiking partner reviewing some knots used for setting up our camps. For some reason she was really curious about how to tie a trucker's hitch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUHgGK-tImY&list=PLFKYR3wbbIxzPwkZ9aAfLdtxXL0whOwK_&index=1
Took a slight detour along the Metate Trail on the way out.
Was nice to get some dirt time. Haven't had enough of that lately. |
