| no partners | | | Took a day off from adulting yesterday and headed up 172 to the Woodbury TH. Climbed over the gate and made my way down to Coffee Flat. Like a lot of trails in the Superstitions nowadays it's easier to stay in the creek bed as it avoids the bush whack and the catclaw (took one across the face that left a nice mark). No water in the creek until I got near Musk Hog Canyon where there was a light flow with a couple of pools (some not so good) I'm assuming from Musk Hog Spring but not positive. At Musk Hog the creek turned more riparian with a good amount of the Cottonwoods and Superstition savannah grass. Made it to the Fraser/Randolph confluence, checked out Dripping Spring and relaxed for a bit. The confluence is one of my favorite areas in the western half of the wilderness but it definitely has lost some of it's luster. It's clear the area had a major flood this summer that covered most of the beautiful purple/pink sandstone with dirt and sand. Relaxed there for a good 30 minutes and made my way back. I had forgotten how pooey the hike back up the road after the ranch is, made the hike more meh. There were 3 other trucks at the TH but I saw no one else the entire time other then a couple doe near the confluence. RS still giving me some issues where I have to restart it but it was only a few times yesterday compared to previous times. |
