| no partners | | I was out here last Memorial Day and found some large catfish trapped in a pool where the trail crosses the Agua Fria. I thought it would be fun to see if they survived the summer or not plus I wanted to see what the water situation is along the Agua Fria for a possible New Year's backpack trip.
Not too long after I started, I almost stepped on a tarantula that was cruising along the trail too. I took some pictures and shooed it off the trail.
I decided to go counterclockwise around the loop as I went clockwise last time. I almost missed the turn at the junction but made it. I'm not sure I've ever walked northbound on the east side of the loop. I probably have done bits and pieces of it out and back but I'm not sure.
After the east side drops down to the Agua Fria, part of the trail is washed out. There's a ten foot gully where the trail used to be. Not sure how long it's been like that, but awhile for sure. It wasn't hard to get around, I just had to work my way through some bushes. It would be good to go through with loppers and clear a path.
I finally reached the pool where I had seen the catfish last May. After this week's rain the pool was quite a bit larger and murkier too so I wasn't able to spot any fish. Maybe I'll find out if they're still there my next trip. |
