After working a football tournament all weekend, took yesterday off to get out in the wilderness before the heat. It had been a few months since I had hiked up Campaign and S had never been there so off to the Campaign TH we went. It was a warmer than normal 50 degrees when he pulled into an empty TH at 8 am. The tread is pretty easy to follow to the Reavis Gap junction with a mix of the old trail and some well-carried new tread. After the junction, it's a creek walk for a bit until the climb up and over the small saddle. From here there is a good portion of the old trail still there, however, it does get brushy and yes there is some prickly stuff to deal with, but I've been through worse. Made a break stop at the corral near the old Pinto Peak trail where a horse camp was recently set up (a ton of stuff was left behind)

and continued to Fireline. From Brushy Spring to Fireline, there is a good amount of old tread to follow up on the east bank but I know from recent experience that after Fireline it gets a lot harder to follow. Had lunch, relaxed under the pines at Fireline, and had an uneventful hike back to the truck. We thought about hiking up to a couple of small hilltops to check out some ruins but it was already getting late so we'll save it for next time. The only 'wildlife' sightings were a couple of cows that scared the crap out of me when I wasn't paying attention, but tons of coyote,
deer tracks, bear scat, and a half-eaten deer leg. The wind and clouds picked up later in the day which kept the temps nice. Always a good day in the Supes especially when you come across not another person all day.Thanks, S for joining me on this adventure.
