The weather's just starting to come around to the point where it feels a bit cooler in the mornings and the hiking hoards are still sleeping so I began my Siphon Draw hike at 0600 from the Mining Camp. There were a few hikers already on the trail at this hour but I was just getting some elevation exercise and enjoying the weather.

I got up to the Slickrock Basin and worked my way up to the narrows before taking a short break and heading back. By now the trail was filling up and I could hear voices all the way back down the canyon so the peace and quiet was now gone. I got back to my truck and checked Route Scout and I did the round trip in just over two hours.... If I keep this up, I'll soon be in the league with Sam, JJ and Rick..... :whistle:

NOT! Oh well, it was still a great morning to be out hiking in the Superstitions.

On every trip into the Superstitions, I find another Gold Mine. Today the mine was filled with Memories. I can not wait for the next trip.
