Another nice day to enjoy hiking under the Arizona skies. Seeing a brief scene from “Lust For Gold” had me inspired to return to Black Top Mesa . Made it as an extension of the Black Mesa Loop clockwise from First Water Trailhead.Only one water report for the complete route,dry.Parking lot only half full at 9, holiday crowd not arrived yet I suppose. Saw no one going up or down or on Black Top Mesa or Bull Pass Trail either. Did find a half inflated Mylar balloon up there to dispose of,helpful tip ,prickly pear cactus works well for deflating them.Enjoyed the awesome views of the western Superstitions all around me.Arrived at the Spanish Heiroglyphics at high noon hoping it was the ideal time for a sign to reveal the location of the hidden gold. Alas nothing to see here folks. Just wondering though ,how would a HAZ sticker look on a Rolls Phantom?
