| partners | | With the cool forecast I had to hike and Bruce came up with this plan. I had been to Reavis Ranch twice in February but one more tome couldn't hurt. I may be wrong about that. 
FR172 is bumpy with imbedded rocks but no trouble getting through. FR172A has some deeper/steeper obstacles. The drive up FR172A was slow. No problem for 4wd but could be a bit taxing for AWD. You make the call. The overnight rain allowed for dust free driving.
Cloud cover provided moderate morning temperature and it seemed to remain constant throughout. The trail conditions were good and the breeze enjoyable. The lone AZT through hiker was talkative/friendly.
Bruce and I made good time to the ranch and assessed the apple crop. It's too late for a freeze so I see loots of apples this fall. We took a break at the ranch before starting back to the adventurous part of the trip.
Log Trough Canyon started out thick but soon opened up nicely. We saw several deer all was good. It couldn't last but we made the best of until the GPS location for Log Trough Spring. What spring? The area was lots of brush and downed trees so nothing was found.
We started up canyon until it looked like a good route back to the trail. Of course the open area didn't last. It was okay, then choked, then okay, then steep/loose, then choked and finally a wash opened up and we made the trail.
Early on there was talk of visiting the ore cart and the miners stone house ruin on the way out but those got pushed back to next time. Will there be a next time? It could happen. 
It's always good to get out on the trail with Bruce and make back.
