| no partners | | | Thursday morning we gathered in Mesa at 6 a.m. to take John's 'power wagon' to see the Cooper Forks Dwellings. We arrived just before 10 a.m. to begin the hike in. Going was slow as we didn't begin at the best beginning point. We meandered among the grazing cows as we worked our way to Cherry Creek. We were delighted to see the beautiful rocks and flora along the creek as well as a 5 toed imprint in the mud that made us think we might be here with 'Bigfoot'. Glen thought it was probably a bear. What a disappointment! We continued over the creek and found cairns leading toward the dwellings. They were a bit sporadic and we did get off track a few times before reaching the dwellings. A worthwhile adventure that everyone in the group enjoyed before arriving back at Mesa just before 9 p.m. |
