| no partners | | Continuing on northbound on the BCT. Went back to the Emery-Henderson TH again and hiked north. I went 0.7 miles north beyond the top of the Boy Scout Loop. It made my total for today 12 miles, and I figured it would reduce the mileage when I hike down to that point from Table Mesa Road next month. The weather was nice enough this morning that it made it very easy to do. Who knows what it will be like in another month. The view at the saddle just north of the top of the Boy Scout loop gave the best views of the day to the north. Looking forward to getting further along on this trail.
I did a shuttle hike of this section of trail a good 16+ years ago with my friend Ted and another guy. We did it as a shuttle hike, leaving a car at Table Mesa Road and hiked northbound. I have barely any memory of any sections of trail or any particular views that day. Mostly I remember following section of roads, which it's still like. I also remember hearing a lot of shooting closer to Table Mesa Road, which from reading recent triplogs seems to still be the case. Today was pretty quiet, but I was still a few miles away. Looks like some reroutes of the trail may have been done. Quite a few sections of singletrack to go along with the narrow dirt roads.
Saw another snake this week, but not a rattler. saw one dirt biker on the roads, and later a Jeep. Only hikers I saw were about a half mile from the trailhead on my way back, a couple hiking with their kids, who they were carrying. Saw some smoke from the new fire along I-17 my last 2 miles. It looked like it grew pretty quickly by how much more smoke there was by the time I drove home. |
