After realizing I'd never hiked to Cedar Basin it was time to go. The Tortilla trailhead had several vehicles there because hunting season has begun. Some hunters drove ATV's down FR 213 and waited and watched from a ridge. The hike down the road is a good warm up and saves on the vehicle. There were also two mules and a campsite down by the start of the JF trail. Once I started down the JF trail the people seemed to vanish. The Hoolie Bacon trail was a bit overgrown but that's just how I like it. Once I crossed Tortilla Creek I saw 3 white-tailed deer including one buck. The hunters should have followed me. 
Next, I started up Cedar Basin Canyon and hopped down the rocky creek bed. The canyon was more open than the trail so not too bad. While in Cedar basin I checked out the corral but the spring? was no where to be found. On the hike out I saw one more doe. The overcast sky and the canyon brush helped keep the sun off and made for a nice hike.
