| no partners | | Headed out towards First Water Road to hike some of the Jacob's Crosscut Trail. on the way out I spotted Wally on his way back early at 5:30am  . Turns out he was bailing on some plans with unforeseen circumstances.
From the TH I hiked 3 miles out and turned around, then hiked up Siphon Draw for just over a mile. On the way back down Siphon Draw I took the Palmer Mine Trail over to Prospector's View, then back down to the Crosscut and back to the TH. Hadn't been up or down Siphon Draw in over a decade, so it was nice to see the views getting further up the canyon after so long. It was also nice to chase the shade for a bit to keep hiking in cooler temps as everything was getting warmer everywhere else around me.
Parking lot was nearly empty once I got back, in great contrast to times I've parked there recently in the winter months. It's not really that hot yet, so I was bit surprised, but not disappointed. |

It was good to get out! Thanks for the hike Wally! Like HAZ, you rock!
I suggested the out trails out east. We hiked around until we had 5 miles.
Route 
legs laying on trail which was odd. 
Their write up was difficult to follow & I ended up going the wrong way early on.
