| no partners | | | After hiking the bottom portion of Spencer Spring Trail last weekend I was looking to start at the top to complete the trail. Decided to take the back way in and headed up FS 650. Made it to the small parking area and headed down to Spencer Creek. Started the long climb up the ridge next to the creek. Extremely slow going as the "trail" has been eroded away by the fire and flooding and it was extremely slippery from all of the loose rock. I was basically looking for the path of least resistance that wasn't to steep where I would fall. After about a mile and a half of this and nearly falling multiple times I'd had enough. Decided to turn around and head back to the truck. The upper part of the trail is basically a death trap and I do not recommend anyone hiking this until it can be fixed. FS 650 and 172 were like a highway, I have never seen so many vehicles on it, made the drive that much hairier. Even saw a motorcycle coming up just below Rogers Trough, it was not a dirt bike but a cruiser. It was a nice 66 degrees with a good breeze up top today which made a nice break from the 80's at the house. Besides the vehicle traffic, saw no one on the trail as expected. Just another day of social distancing. |
