| no partners | | The wife was busy helping prepare dinner for the extended family, so the boys and I headed out for an easy loop in the Supes. Parked at the horse lot and took the track down to First Water Ranch. They had a ball here, running around the old corrals and trying to figure out where all the gates were. Eventually made it down to First Water creek and bumbled downstream. There was plenty of water in the tanks, nothing flowing. There were a few tricky spots that the almost-2yr needed help, but the 3yr handled it like a champ and led for much of the hike. Much of the hike was along trails on the banks that were easy to follow.
Hackberry Spring made for a good break spot for second-breakfast. Lots of water there too, pipe was dribbling and the pool barely overflowing. Continued downstream and then cut up the saddle that meets with the trail to Garden Valley (not sure if has a name). This is when the 2yr old crashed and I had to carry him the rest of the way out. 3yr old made it to the ranch before he also needed help. Finished the hike carrying both kids and hoping my back was back to par. Needless to say, they both ate a ton at dinner that night.
Saw one group near the springs and two more in First Water Ranch valley on the way out. |
