| no partners | | Did an out and back on the AZT # 15 "tortilla" section. Day 1 went to
the "wildlife tank", plenty of water. Nice views except for the lights of Florence prison. Day two went to Ripsey wash, nice to see the saguaros and Ripsey wash is one of my favorite places on the AZT, classic open desert with the cattle tank to drink from. The tank was full of worms though, they filter out well. Some horse riders suggested they are mosquito larvae. The trail steward told me about a small waterfall near the north bound intersection with the wash. I found it (pic below) with only a trickle of water, good shower spot some day ! Next day was to the Florence-Kelvin dirt road. It was so windy ! Was a struggle to stay vertical. About a few tenths of a mile north from the dirt road I looked to the right and saw a small concrete structure. It turned out to be an old spring fed water catch. I decided to camp there however the water was heavily mineralized and not great to drink but I stuck it out as I didn't feel like going to the public spigot over the bridge. No side effects thankfully. Next three days headed back. |
