| no partners | | | Hike 1 of a 2 hike day. The weather was too nice not to climb high above the Salt River and soak in the views. Vineyard Mountain has a flat summit, but a small cairn marks the location of the summit register. BobP's name confirmed I was in the right place. Several other people were on the trail today. I passed some AZT thru-hikers on the way down. Someday, maybe... |

. Moving on the off-trail to Camelback was brutal. The route off was good for about .25 miles and then was brutal. It was.... in the drainage out of the drainage snow traverses hellish manzanita and mean Holly. Finally, Buckhorn creek made for a nice way down. Next I went to the ruins and then did a little double time on the ridge. And pretty much stayed on trail until I was startled by a bright light down canyon. Next thing I know a aircraft is hovering with yellow/goldish lights. I got freaked out and realized I was off-trail but quickly fixed it. Very freaky night. Maybe it was some spaceship like drone that is being tested. 
or maybe it was aliens.
