| no partners | | Packed up my 4Runner and headed up to the Blue Range Primitive Area on Friday. Was supposed to be an outing with a group of friends, who flaked two days before.Car camped at the Bonanza Bill TH and sat by the fire as the sun went down listening to the wolves howl. My original plan was to hike Bonanza Bill to Lanphier but changed my mind as I hiked BB to Hinkle Spring last year. At dawn I drove over to Hannagan Meadow to hike Foote Creek.. This area was hit and miss from the 2011 Wallow fire but the areas that did burn are coming back nicely, there are thousands of young Aspen everywhere! The trail is in fantastic condition (a handful of newer down trees, nothing horrible) to P Bar Lake which is where I stopped, took a break and started back. There is some Locust, but it's just off trail and no worry, however, I can see it growing back quickly. Scared up a couple huge Bull Elk on the top of a plateau and me being an idiot, I decided to try and track them for a few. Well that track ran right through a thick forest of New Mexican Locust  . Lesson learned! On the way back I watched a coyote walk in the meadow below me talking to itself  . After a few minutes of watching it, it spotted me and decided to start walking up the hillside towards me before coming to it's senses and turning around. I will definitely have to make another overnight trip before the fall, so much I haven't seen yet. |
