| partners | | I hiked Campaign about a month ago in snow, but got a chance to hike a loop with the A Team and took it. Sunday was the set up to meet with Wally, Jason and Andy at 6am but “somebody” was late (me).
The weather was nice but threatened to push into the 70s by day’s end. We knew this was going to be a full day. Nobody else was a Campaign TH when we left (or as we returned) and saw just one other the entire day resting at Reavis Creek. The sky was clear and the breeze was light and generally quite nice. It had last rained approximately 2 weeks ago so good water in the creeks but not overflowing like they were last month.
We did a clockwise lollypop loop. In general Campaign 256 needs work. It’s overgrown, has some blowdown with fire dropped trees blocking the trail. There are places with deep washout that required climbing to cross. Fireline 118 was relatively clear as expected with decent fire recovery. The higher section was much more beautiful than the lower. Reavis Ranch is pretty timeless and we stopped for a snack near the foundation and recharged before continuing. The section from Reavis Gap 117 down was really nice but hurried through it as daylight waned. The difference between the fire burned east side and the forested west side was stark. I briefly stopped a few side trips to check out some Hohokam ruins and then dropped back down into Campaign for the late return to the truck. My distance was slightly longer than the others.
It was a good time with people I respect, so I’d repeat that formula any day of the week. |
