| no partners | | | Participated in a 3-day backpacking trip with the Arizona Backpacking Club in the beautiful Superstitions. Our plan was to camp at White Rock Springs the first night and then Whiskey Springs the second. Although there was plenty of water all along our hike, water at both of our campsites wasn't the best. Camped 1/2 mile from Charlebois Spring adding a mile to get water to and from camp the first night. The 2nd night at Whiskey Springs had adequate water but not the best. LaBarge had the best water, and approximately 2 miles before getting to Whiskey Springs (near Trap Canyon Spring) had a great pond and camping area on the right side of the trail. Backpacked with 7 people. I was probably the least experienced of the group but did well. The beauty of the Superstitions makes the difficult trek all worth it. We got to see the lunar eclipse; however, the clouds obscured viewing. Weather was perfect. Flowers are beginning to come out. It was a great weekend meeting new people. I wanted to keep my back to no more than 30 lbs, therefore, sacrificed my backpacking chair. I really missed that chair at camp. We had a campfire each night which was really nice. |
