| no partners | | I first hiked this back in 2004, today it seemed alot longer than I remembered. Wally and I started at Woodbury and hiked clockwise. JF isn't too bad, but maybe that was because we'd started with that. It was pretty rocky, which always slows me down. All the fire damage from 2 summers ago is very faint.
We got to the ruins in just under 4 hours. The leaves in the stream bed below pile up in their own kind of pools, making for mild hazards as you step in them. We climbed up to the ruins, but for the last bit of the ascent I decided against going further. The exposure had me uncomfortable especially with my backpack shifting around. I've been in the twice before, that's enough. Below we found some sherds and other possible tools. The one sherd had some color on it.
After lunch we'd headed up Rogers Canyon. Wally pointed out the upper ruins and some others that he's found over the years. Nice to make note of that if I ever decide to go searching. Today I was content with the power of my zoom lens for some good pics.
It was a bit of a slog on the way up to Rogers Trough, then still a slog down the road over to Woodbury. I still can't decide if it's me getting older or it's been so long that I don't remember how difficult it was 16 years ago. Probably a bit of both. Nice to be out in the Supes again and hike with someone. |
