| partners | | | Another venture into @MountainMatt territory to checkout one of his discoveries. We drove 1.4 miles on a rough 4x4 road until I decided it would be more comfortable to walk. Even had to use the rear differential locker to get through one particularly rough spot. Good to know it still works. Most of the short hike was a pleasant stroll along an old 4x4 track down to the bottom of a canyon, across a stream, then up the other side to the top of the hill where the fortress is located. The last 0.3 miles was through some brush, mostly scrub oak, followed by a scramble up the cliff band surrounding the hill near its top. As usual with hilltop fortresses, the views from the top were amazing. We only saw one artifact inside the fortress walls and it was of modern origin. |
