| partners | | Unaware of the pending end of the year and unconcerned with personal hiking statistics, FOTG decided to just relax at home and watch football, so I took it upon myself to drive over and dognap Blanco and Cup as they are not really into lazy, relaxing weekends.
9L was recovering from the weeklong holiday bender he's been on, so we took it slow and just enjoyed the day. Any water we found that wasn't flowing was frozen, even in the sun later in the day. I broke through a few of them for the dogs to drink. It didn't seem that cold. I was in shorts and short sleeves, but I doubt it got much over 50 at any point of the day.
The hike along Cave Creek is great while the return trip is somewhat boring and drags on for a while. There are some nice views though. In the end, it was basically just about what I was looking for today. |

Most everything is done. A few straggling yellows on some cottonwoods. |

| | | Skunk Tank itself is dry, and appears to be an unreliable source for water. But the drainage downstream between it and the trail had several deep pools in the rocks. It is unlikely these pools would have water in dryer/warmer times of year. | | _____________________
