| no partners | | This was just another late afternoon beer hike to the dry falls in Chuparosa to see if anything was going on! I was surprised to hear voices about halfway in because I rarely see anyone out here. There was a couple hanging out on a small ridge away from the mountain. I waved and kept going.
I got to my spot and used my binoculars to look for bighorns or anything interesting throughout the canyon but I kept hearing voices that I couldn’t locate. Twenty minutes before sunset I finally spotted the couple way up at the base of the mountain. They were climbing down from a cave and it looked gnarly! I was able to line my phone up and get a couple pix thru the binocs! Now it was getting dark and I was worried about them making it down. I yelled to see if they weee ok and they yelled back “good” so I started down. I had been up there before and knew coming down was an off-trail battle!
About halfway back I could see they were still way up in there and moving slowly with flashlights! I waited until they were down past the worst stuff and continued. When I got to the Hiero/Lost Goldmine junction I could see their lights way back on the flats and knew they were ok! That was a relief!
If those two see this post - sorry to keep yelling up to you! Wasn’t sure you were in a good spot but you guys handled it!! Congrats! Hope you like the pix!! I’d love to know what you saw up there!! |
