| no partners | | Me and my Dad stayed two nights at the Lees Ferry campground. We hiked this trail once we had set up the motorhome at one of the sites. We checked out the old cabins and some of the mine remnants that were left behind near the start of the trail. The informational signs were really useful as they had interesting information about the area. On the way to the camp site I stopped to find a benchmark and found the station mark along with the two reference disks. At the camp site there were some cool ruins, a old house, two fire places, some thick braided cable, and some old tins. There is also a benchmark disk here, but the datasheet referenced some of the original structures, such as a log cabin, which didn't exist anymore. Not to mention the it seemed to be buried in a thick bustle of shrubs, and I didn't want to fight my way in them just to find a disk.
We continued on down the trail that fishmen and other hikers have made over the years. I also stopped to find another benchmark, but at this point I had lost cell service and couldn't download the datasheet. Searched a bit above the trail before calling it quits. A bit farther up is where we decided to turn around. Thought about hiking the spencer trail once I dropped Dad off at the camper, but just didn't get to it. Fun hike.
