I was only on Granite Falls very briefly, but it gives me a place to hang this triplog. Anyway ...

There’s a lot of old jeep trails in what is now Skyline Regional Park. One of them appears to extend from Skyline’s main wash up to within 100 yds. of the VABM benchmark, on the ridgeline southeast of Pyrite Summit. My plan to check it out did not survive first contact with the enemy.

First, I did not get on the road until 9:00 a.m. Then there was clogged traffic for several miles of I-10 construction in Buckeye. When I got to Skyline Regional Park, it was 52℉, but so windy it was miserable. I thought about just heading home, but luckily had brought a hoodie. Then my Garmin 62S decided to screw me. Again. 🤬

So, rather than blabber on, enjoy the photos ...

Saw some brittlebush on the way into the park, but nada inside it.
