Exploratory up Ocotillo Ledges...very nice cut! Who knew? Exited down the ridge and into Quiet Canyon... nice short hit before all the food bank work...

trash pickup day... and unfortunately as we climbed out of the Slot... found a red arrow pointing to the hidden entrance! Likely the same idiots who junked up the canyon! So... back up via the trail to do something about that defacing? The owners of the canyon closed it down some years ago because of the mess made by groups; it could happen again? I hauled out a load today...

pics over on google+

alternate route to El Gordo... Ross wanted to see new areas... so, up Goat Springs South... across the Goat Basin... into Quiet Canyon to catch The Big Cave... then along the Quiet Cliffs to enjoy the side canyon... the Crinoid Falls... the Slot... and then down to the lower ridge along the north side of Quiet Canyon.

Lots of good stuff... exceptional fossil details... still trying to decide on the optimum route to enjoy the highlights.

A few interesting falls... rocks breaking away.

Ross cleaned the blockage in the Slot... we need to go back with some safety (rope/board)... but he was up!

Warmer out! Where's the cold!!!

socked in... blind hiking. Odd, I picked this route to give us views and overviews of the surrounding areas; no way today! So, we walked John around and down into El Gordo, then we checked possible trail routes around the cliff tops. It finally cleared out as we finished our day... oh, well.

Ross and John... Alena a no show today.

Weird... I'd swear I posted this yesterday! Yet, it seems to be gone...? Something I did?
