Lucky Strike Trail #144

On my recent 10/23 to 10/30 (7night/8day) vehicle camping-hike exploring trip to the Sierra Ancha, I took this late morning short hike in from the Billy Lawrence TH to have some nice near and distant views along the beginning Lucky Strike Trail #144.

My main objective was to see how burnt-up this trail was from the May-2016 "Juniper Wildfire". I only had to hike in about .5ml or less to view the start of the burn.. It was pretty devastating. This trail heads downhill close to ~2800ft elevation loss

to end at Cherry Creek Road, FR203 five+ miles one way. I suspect that the burn areas continue all the way down to FR203.

This Sierra Ancha Trail has some special meaning to me as it was my very first HAZ- Hike Guide write-up back in Oct-2007 and I was proud for having done so
