I had bigger plans this weekend but needed to rest my foot. The Goldfields seem to be a barren wasteland but I noticed a spring on the map and decided to see if it had water. They're working on blocking the drive arounds at the Hackamore Gate so there are lots of big rocks sitting at the trailhead. Packsaddle is road 3512 but there were several single track trails around so I took a few of the Sonoran Desert Trail System trails and paralleled the road sort of. Trails 309, 310, 311, 312 & 313 are all nearby. There were no vehicles and no other hikers out. There were several car campers about a quarter mile beyond the gate. The spring had water so I climbed the hilltop nearby and found a hilltop but nothing else. There are several new signs and some numbered trail markers. I may have to return one day and look for caves nearby. Now I think the Goldfields are a barren wasteland with one good spring.
