Got up early and headed over to 287 and up 305 to the Cuff Button Trail. With the monsoon rain 305 is not for the faint of heart. The wash is filled with tons of boulders and tree branches, don't even attempt it without a high clearance 4wd unless you need a quick oil change. :lol: Cuff Button used to be an old road up to the wilderness boundary, however, the erosion from the fire has eaten away most of it. It was easier to boulder hop in the creek. The creek had a light flow all the way to the corral which is always nice. Got to the corral and I remembered why it's such a pain in the pumpkin to get there. This area has the highest concentration of catclaw in the Superstitions I've ever seen! Finally made it to the corral after a quick blood bath and had lunch. There are some ruins further up on the climb on the ridge I wanted to check out, however, I'm still feeling some effects of bronchitis and decided not to push my luck and headed back to the TH. It's pretty obvious that no one uses this section of Cuff Button as there were zero signs of anyone however, I did see tire tracks within a quarter mile of the coral. Some moron had to drive a Razor past the wilderness boundary. More kitty prints in the area then I have seen in awhile. Got to try out the truck body armor as a accidently took the wrong road (which was a catclaw forest) on the way out. Not a scratch on her. :app: Another trail in the eastern Superstitions that has been destroyed by erosion.
