| no partners | | We had an enjoyable and rewarding trip in the cool pine trees along AZT Passage 27, from General Springs to a mile or two past FR 123.
Removing the aging and mostly superfluous fiberglass signposts has been a nagging task, and the Eagle Scout candidates weren’t biting on this chore, so this was the day to pull them out. Being fiberglass and sitting in the AZ elements for maybe 15+ years, they were fading and delaminating; the stickers intended to convey a message were faded and chipping away. Their sell-by date has come and gone, so out they come. The tool for this weighs 20 pounds, more then we care to lug the 6 miles, so we used a pick. Swat the sharp end through the sign just below ground, then pry it out. We carried the spoils to the nearest road, dropped them, and picked them up on our way out.
The bonus was a 20-inch deadfall across the trail. Switching off between us on the saw made short work of it.
Cloudy pools along the canyon, gooey thick green stuff in the cattle tanks.
Another fine day on the AZT. |
