| no partners | | Headed up to Spur Cross with no real plan, other than to check out the old 6L Ranch, which I had never been to. All this time, I didn't realize there was an actual trail the whole way...but there was.
Ran into a guy who said he used to work the ranch 30odd years ago, near the entrance gate. He told us a little about the place. The collection of petroglyphs right after entering the ranch was amazing.
Continued to the ranch, and checked out what is left of the pens. Not much there structure-wise. We headed up the old trail towards Trail 4, and upon reaching the top, found a cairn, and thought it might be a reasonable place for ruins. Sure enough, on a knoll overlooking the ranch, there were some ruins. Cool.
Continued up to 4, then headed south. Found what looked like an old junction, and figured it could be the route down to the chalk canyon ruins. Headed down there, and found the massive complex of ruins. Amazing. From there, we bushwacked back down to Cave Creek, and then out.
Good day, and a cool spot I for some reason never bothered to check out. |
