| no partners | | | Just wanted to get in a little walk along Chevelon Creek before all the spring visitors start to show up. I picked a good day as there was nobody at the campground and only one other vehicle on FR 504 all day. I pretty much took the exact same route as I did on a backpack last summer with nonot. Zig zagged through the canyon and across the creek several times to avoid cliffs. There seemed to be a more prevalent trail this time. Twice I took off on game trails and climbed up the walls of the canyon just for a change of perspective. I couldn't help but notice the lack of wildlife in the canyon today. Can't say that I blame them, aside from the creek itself, the whole area was bone dry and devoid of feed. Prickly pear seemed to be the only living thing thriving in the area. The only good news was not having overgrown vegetation to fight with. We sure could use a little rain up here. On the way back I stopped at our previous campsite under the power lines for a dip in what seemed to be the deepest pool around. Refreshing, but even I didn't stay in long. |
