| partners | | Came up the night before and camped at Hazlett Hollow just up the road. After a hearty breakfast we headed over to do this trail as the first of several for the day. Weather was cool and just a bit overcast, prefect for a good hike.
Found the trailhead easy enough. First part of the trail was pretty easy to follow, but got more interesting as we got higher up the ridge. A little backtracking here and there, but made the top of the hill pretty quick. As we walked out onto the tower access road, the tower observer drove up in his truck. "Thought I heard voices down here. Want to come up in the tower?" Apparently it is quiet out here or one of us is kinda loud when she hikes. Or maybe both.
Took Joe up on his invitation to climb the tower. Hazy, but still some pretty good views. Caught up on all the local Crown King gossip with Joe. He had several guitars in the tower cab to pass away the time. Plays in a band that starts off the entertainment at the saloon on Friday nights along with my old tower friend Tony. They quit early he explained cause they are a "geezer band". I think a Friday night at the Crown King Saloon is in my future.
Offered up our appreciation and headed back down the trail. One of us is far more into maintenance than the other, so there are now a few new cairns along the trail and old ones are a bit taller. One was on the Jeep just so I could find it when we got back to Kentuck. Guess I'll just leave the GPS home next time. |
