| no partners | | | I continued my quest yesterday to finish all official Superstition wilderness trails. I got to the Campaign TH just after sunrise to a cold 34 degrees. There were 4 cars at the TH, which is highly unusual, seeing that I rarely come across anyone there. I needed to finish a section from Fireline to near the top of the Pinto Divide and knowing the conditions since the Woodbury Fire years ago, I knew it would be a long day. Started the small climb around the Reevis Mountain School and down into Campaign Creek. The trail is hit or miss with the erosion and the parts that are there are overgrown and pretty brushy, my arms, legs, chest, and back are proof, just the usual blood donation. Surprisingly there was a good amount of water from the start, then on and off and eventually drying up before the Pinto Peak trail junction. I came across a backpacker and his dog Dewey who were going to head up Fireline to camp at the ranch, two guys heading up to Mound Mountain, and a camp at the Pinto Peak junction with a couple of horses and a mule. With the trail conditions, I hiked in the creek for a good majority which makes it for a slow trek up to near the divide, past Fireline the conditions were even worse and really slowed me down. Took a break up near the divide and spooked a couple of deer. I also came across a band of about 20 Coatimundi in the creek who made crazy chirping sounds at me as they scattered lol. Another great day in the Supes, knocking another one off my list. |
