Needed to get out there but got a late start so headed to Spur Cross Park. The large parking lot was almost full at 11 am. Spotted a HAZ decal on a FJ Cruiser parked nearby. I hot footed it up to the saddle near Rondo Spring hoping to have some time to snoop around for Indian Ruins but didn't really have enough time. I ended up settling for checking out a hilltop overlooking Rondo Spring for a fortress type ruin that's supposed to be in this area but no luck. The hilltop was a nice place for lunch - big boulder to sit on out of the wind and some good views. On the way back I snooped around in a dry wash looking for an old cement water trough that was shown in a 1992 hand markup of a topo map of the area. Found the water trough in the bottom of the wash about 45 yds upstream from the trail crossing - it was dry. Got back to the parking lot just as the owner of the HAZ ride showed up. He and his buddy were finishing up an overnight backpack down CC#4 from Seven Springs. Yakked it up for a few minutes about all the off-road mods he had made to his FJ and then headed for home.
