Went out to Tortilla Pass scouting areas we want to do some overnight camping. Last time Roger and I backpacked in to Reavis Ranch we carried 38 lbs., enough of this we said, but here comes Rick, he says only 20 lbs. or so. I'll put him to the test Monday as we're going down Peters Trail and over to Charlebois and spend the night.. Stay Tuned .. Back to this hike, we declawed and deneedled the Agave plants and generally cleaned up the trail, after the 1st 3 miles I told Rick, we'd better leave the rest of the last 4 miles for another day or we'll never get back before dark ( TH at 6 PM ). This portion really does need a crew out there as it is really over grown in places.
As mentioned before the 1st couple of miles reminds me of the grazing land in Western Nebraska ( Go Big Red ) not very interesting, but once you get past this area it really opens up into a great hike !!!

Starting to see flowers and bushes put on their show, only seen one little poppy off the trail :cry:

Passed by a Trio of hikes going out to the Tortilla Well and other then that, the whole Trail was ours except for 1 black cardinal and one Gecko
