| no partners | | Main plan to fill in the Geronimo trail which I haven't done yet. Also somehow managed to never hit fat man's pass while out in the area so I checked that off too. Was hoping to find more petroglyphs along Geronimo. Explored a few outcroppings, and noted some promising washes and areas to come back and check. At the Geronimo fork, I poked my head around the signage area and that's when a light green speckled rattlesnake about 2 feet long flopped out on the trail only a couple feet directly in front of me. I was lightly jogging and due to momentum and proximity had no choice but to jump over it. While I changed my underpants it coiled and rattled and scurried off a moment later. I decided that was an omen that I should continue back on the route.
I came across what I am pretty sure are metates, I've never seen any at south mountain before (granted I'm not very observant). They are vertically oriented though. Considering 2 of them appear.to be "broken", it looks to me like the rocks used to be higher up and were damaged in a rockfall, or perhaps tossed down there during trail work long ago. Thoughts on whether you see 3 metates in that picture?
I can upload the gpx route, but have no idea how to attach it to this triplog. |
