| partners | | Scott and I met Andy, Andy's son Johnny, Wally & Chris at the lower Tortilla TH and we all piled in to my 4Runner to make the drive up the ultra smooth road to the upper TH. Johnny got the pleasure of sitting in the very back getting bounced around left and right . No other cars at the TH as we started up JF. From the fire and all the rain, erosion has taken it's toll on JF. The trail was extremely difficult to follow in several places. One minute the trail would be there and the next minute it would disappear without a trace, which made it for a slower pace and a ton of route finding. The good thing here is the amount of overgrowth is minimal, worst section is about 1.5 miles from Tortilla Pass, dropping down from the ridge, the Holly has made it's way back, but nothing you can't push through. I was the only one to wear shorts and my leg's took a beating but that's life hiking in the Supes. Nice lunch break at Tortilla Pass then we started back. There was talk about checking out Mullin Spring but it looked extremely overgrown so that talk was quickly squashed. Scott, Wally & Johnny put the afterburners on while Andy, Chris and I pulled up the rear. Once we got back to the TH, Wally & Johnny decided to take a nap waiting for us, must have been a bit The weather was nearly perfect, a little warm on the way out but not to horrible. Just another awesome day in the Supes! |
