We made a nice little loop in the northern CCRP on Saturday. We utilized Cave Creek Trail #4, Skunk Tank Trail #246 and an off-trail jaunt down Mattys Fork to connect our loop. Steady rain when we began, a lite drizzle for a few more miles, then a little 15 minute shower before the sun came out and conditions became downright pleasant. The cabin is no more and is well on its way to becoming a pile of junk in the forest. Similarly, the famed crested Saguaro along the Cave Creek Trail is down, but not entirely out, after shedding one of its heavy crested arms. Its still a nice crested, however, its certainly lost some of its mystique. Great day out overall and it was nice to get out with John and Chumley again. Its been awhile since I stretched my legs to the tune of 15 plus miles.

Autumn Foliage Observation Isolated
Nice color in some spots and in particular near the start, but still a lot of green down stream.
