| partners | | A two night car camping and hike trip. Drove from Tucson Monday afternoon to the Stockton Pass Campground. Nice fee required CG, however there's nicer spots to camp just outside of the CG boundaries.
Beautiful and dense Juniper and Oak in the area; plenty of shade and room. Passenger cars can get into the area.
Hiked the Shake trail Tuesday morning. Rudy and I started a bit behind the other hikers which ended up with us losing the trail approaching the Swift Trail junction.
This trail is seldom used and is overgrown in the lower segments. The upper segments are faint, and snow covered in areas. Using GAIA GPS and Rudy's canine route finding didn't help.
Fortunately there's good cell service in the upper portions of the trail. I was able to text Bill and send him my location, he responded they had gotten off trail there too. I decided to wait in a sunny spot, have lunch until they started back to hike down with them.
On the return trip Rudy spotted a deer's foreleg on trail, which nobody remembered seeing hiking up. Back to camp for beers and pizza. |
