| no partners | | | Arrived in Patagonia Weds morning, and left my vehicle parked in front of the Marshall's Office, as he instructed (talk about peace of mind!). All restaurants were closed so went to the market for a breakfast sandwich, and then began the road walk. I made my way to the Temporal Gulch trailhead, which was littered with empty soda cans and boxes, and probably 10 water jugs. I wished I could carry that all out....ugh. Water was plentiful on this first day, from the windmill spigot at mile 59, to Anaconda Spring, Walker Basin and my campsite for the night, Bear Spring. Lots of water in the creek below Bear Spring, so didn't have to rely on the algae filled water and figure out the broken pipe. Others had commented that you can fish the parts of out the bottom of the tub, but I couldn't find them all. The next morning I hit the trail and appreciated all the interpretive signs along the way describing the mining operations. Ran into two groups of equestrians on this stretch. |
