| no partners | | Originally wanted to follow Stewart Creek down to its confluence with Houston Creek but along the way I crossed maybe 50 yards of private property and what happened next was quite surprising!
Two rounds worth of warning shots and a few more were fired until I finally got back to the trail, it wasn't somebody doing target practice but definitely a worker on the ranch sending a message.
According to my work colleague who is a local legend around here refers to longtime Payson residents as "local yocals" and tells me it's a fox farm down there and the ranch owner owns some serious acres expanding from Houston Creek all the way near "The Boulders Loop TH" which is now gated off and can only be accessed by foot or bicycle.
I just climbed around on some boulders instead, enjoyed a well needed brew and hiked back in a comforting sprinkling rain. |
