| partners | | Checking some hikes off our lists today. Got started a little after 0800 thanks to construction delays. Some pretty clouds to start, but I wished temps were cooler. We made our way uphill, mostly following cairns. At times, I think Wally was on a better path slightly to the north. Saw three dead javelinas that had fallen into a keeper hole and drowned. Was kind of bummed to see that. Eventually, we got onto a more distinct trail and followed it south to to the edge of the Leap.
We spent a lot of time looking around and taking in the views as we made our south. There was usually some sort of trail, but sometimes we just went the direction we wanted to go. Took lots of pics. There’s probably a lot in this area to come back and explore. Some tall grass and catclaw, I was glad I wore pants, and glad to not step on any snakes. John was thrilled to clock an average pace of way less than 2 mph.
Once at the South Tank, we found some pot sherds. Wally spotted the first ones, below some walls, but the more we looked, the more we saw. After a few minutes of looking around, we headed east down a drainage. catclaw and loose rocks were the story until we finally hit an old two-track.
Eventually we reached the road and followed it north to complete the loop. Easy walking for the final couple of miles. Fun hike, lots of new sights, good company—even Bruce. |
