| partners | | I dragged Tracey along for a return trip with the goal of continuing until the canyon turned east, allowing for a shuttle hike.
We started at the Blue Point Bulldog gate and followed the same route as I did last week, at least as far as I went on that trip. From that point on it was a lot more work and route-finding skills became paramount... what with the thorny thickets and huge boulders to scale, it seemed like we were making constant side-trips along the way.
We stopped for lunch when we achieved our goal... we were able to see the point we reached from the east a few years ago. I had been afraid of a large pour-off or come other impassable obstacle but that was not the case.
Ok, goal achieved, time to hike back out. Although we had a better idea of the route, it was no easier on the return leg. After the large cave where the route was more obvious we picked up speed. Once out of the canyon it became a long slog back.
No wildlife this trip.  |
