Maybe it had something to do with it being 35 degrees and a 20 mph wind! It was FREEZING and yes I was wearing shorts. Started down the Reavis Ranch Trail to the junction and took a left heading down the Roger's Canyon Trail. The trail lasted about a quarter of a mile then disappeared into the brush (I was already prepared for this due to Joe's previous triplog) so I stayed in the creek. Easy creek walk until I got a little past Roger's Canyon Spring. The small rocks and sand turned to boulders that I had to climb down. Stopped at the ruins and took a quick pic from the creek, as the ruins were not on my agenda for today. At the ruins the boulders again gave way to small rocks which made it much easier and fast to walk. Got to Angel Basin and decided to continue up on Frog Tanks, but after a half mile the creek started getting rocky and with new shoes, I didn't want to test a longer mileage hike, so decided to turn around. Went back to Angel Basin, explored a bit and once again tried to get to Angel Spring. It's a short hike from Angel Basin, however, the worst catclaw forest I've ever seen blocks the entire path and even with clippers I was no match for it, so I turned around after a couple hundred feet, I guess it's not in the cards for me to see it. Started the hike back climbing up (and sliding down) the boulders on the way back, getting back to my rig in pretty good time. Came across two women on the way in coming back from the ruins and that was it, another awesome Sunday in the Superstitions! |
