We met up and left for the trailhead at 5:00am. No renaissance traffic that early and no delays on the way. FR 449 has some sand but an easy drive for any all wheel drive vehicle at present condition. The was a cool but as we started to climb the Reavis Gap trail you warmed up. The Campaign trail to Reavis Gap is easy going. The Reavis Gap trail was easy to follow, steep in sections with better footing going up than if you hiked down. We took a break at Reavis Ranch as I mistakenly thought most of the climb was out of the way. ](https://hikearizona.com/dex2/images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif "Brick wall"){kind=small}
The Fireline trail up to the Circlestome spur was okay with a few wash outs to cross. The spur trail to Circlestone seemed longer than in the past going back and forth but looking at my GPS track it was fairly straight forward. We took another break at Circlestone where the guy who lost his cell phone came out of nowhere and talked to us. The hike up to Mound Mountain looked tough but we took the ascent at a metered pace so it wasn't that bad. The hike down and back to the Fireline trail was a nice break from the climbs. The Fireline trail down to Campaign Creek was okay at first, then a little overgrown, then some moonscape, and finally disappears into the overgrowth before emerging into the creek. The Campaign trail is overgrown is places, washed out in places but passable and we maintained a decent pace given the condition. In years past the creek was overgrown but the creek is open in most areas if you can't find the trail. A good group to hike with as we hiked and regrouped and rested and trail searched to make the trip go as smoothly as possible. I've hiked worse trails and but would recommend having a track if you plan to try it. Thanks to Linda for driving, good to hike with Kelly again and nice to meet John.
