| no partners | | | Out and back to Dripping Springs which was indeed dripping a slow drop by drop. Listening to it was quite relaxing from the shade in the wash. Went to the junction with Red Tanks,looks like a new sign, thanks to the triplogs by The N and Mike Fels was not tempted to try the added loop and miles. Decided to do the tedious crossing of Barkley Basin twice instead. Thanks to a nice breeze it was not as warm as anticipated. Gave a salute to the commanding saguaro at Reed's water,after closing the gate saw a black cattle that I took a photo of as it snorted at me. The trip up Randolph canyon seems easier without the flowing water but the cow pie obstacles are considerable,fortunately the flies are not too bad right now. Saw no other hikers outbound and none on the return until after getting back on the Lost Dutchman. I did encounter a mature couple,ie.my age,heading the opposite way.The woman stumbled and before she made a face plant I was able to catch her, never had that happen before.Last few hikes had been finishing near sunset so this was an early finish to an enjoyable day. |
