Met up with Ray yesterday to checkout the trail conditions on the east side of the Superstitions, so we met up at the Circle K in Superior before sunrise yesterday and drove out to the Campaign TH. No cars at the TH (not surprised) when we arrived at 7:30 and started up Campaign Creek. I hadn't been out to the Campaign Creek area since last April so I was curious on the conditions. Good trail conditions as always around the Reavis Mountain School but once you drop into the creek that is where the trail is hit and miss and it's best to stay in the creekbed. Made a quick stop at the Reavis Gap junction and continued up the creek. The pace was slower then normal as Ray was trimming back the numerous catclaw forests that are throughout the area (my arms, hands and legs are proof of this lol). Made a stop at the corral near the Pinto Peak Trail junction and continued up to Brushy Spring. Some recent evidence of horses and someone camping at the corral due to leaving trash, a light and a chair.

I have never been able to find the actual spring so we spent some time looking for it and come up empty handed again. Contemplated continuing to Fireline, however it was already 12:30 and with plans for the evening we decided to head back. Slight tweak of the ankle heading back, but nothing major and my calf held up just fine. Great day hiking with Ray for the first time and always a great day being out in the Eastern Superstitions with no one else around. catclaw and holly are numerous as they have been post fire, the area needs a good amount of maintance to be what it once was. I still need to complete the section from Fireline to the divide but that will have to wait for another day.
