| no partners | | | Wanted to go for a hike today and decided to go hiking and find a geocache near Cherry Canyon. Parked the truck at the edge of Marshall Lake. I saw what appeared to be a closed road on OnX Backcountry that went across the mesa and decided to go that way instead of looping down the mountain along the forest road. Crossed a barbed wire fence and tried to find it. However, I never did locate it over the one mile of travel where this road was supposed to be. I wonder if OnX just hallucinated it or it was a road so old it has completely faded. I did find a game path that might've been it. I also found a downed barbed wire fence that went across the mesa. Soon I reached the edge and started heading down to Marshall Lake road. I passed it and continued through the brush to a forest road. I followed this road to the Marshall Trick Tank and to Cherry Canyon where the geocache was. I found the cache in good shape, with it last being found about 4.5 years ago. I headed back up to the trick tank and back to Marshall Lake road which I began hiking up and back to my truck. Along the way I passed a large steel tank and trough. Neither of which seemed to be in use as the tank was missing a ballcock and the tank had its pipes disconnected. I also climbed to the top of the tank and peered in and it way empty. I continued up the road and eventually made it back to my truck. Fun hike. |
