| no partners | | Didn't see any trip reports for the area after the recent rain, and hiking across Horse Ridge has been on my wish list for a while, so off we went. The hike up JF and then Hoolie Bacon was very pleasant, trail conditions were better than expected, and all the water flow added to the fun factor. We took a break once we hit the top of Horse Ridge and surveyed our starting route across. Just as we started across we spooked up two white tailed deer and watched them scamper of in the general direction we were headed so we basically followed their route. At a saddle, and as we looked across, we were treated to a blanket of very dense catclaw to which Ryan commented "what do you think?". What do I think, "we are going to get scratched and poked but let's go". It was bad but the game trails made it better than it could have been. Found a really nice spot about half way across the ridge to have lunch and refuel which made the second half of the off trail section seem like a breeze. On our way down Peters Trail we checked out Kane Spring which is about 3/4 full.
On a side note, regarding last nights playoff game, I suspect the half-time speech went something like this, "Larry, do not let us lose this game". Thank-you Fitz! |
