| partners | | Wally and I headed up to where Eagles soar! Bruce, Wally and I hiked the loop counter clockwise. The ground had signs of recent rain with some mud here and there. Nothing bad enough to sink in or harm the trail when we hiked, in my opinion. The climb up Derrek hasn't lessened!  Once we hit Highline, I thought it leveled off but the climb went on for a little more.   We missed the turn for purgatory so we skipped it today. . After being on the Highline for awhile Wally said this part seemed pretty smooth and he didn't remember it from when we hike the whole Highline. He also remembered Booneman saying how rocky it could get when he ran the Zane Grey 50. Well, Booneman will love this section now. Pretty smooth. Turns out Bruce looked at the route and this section was rerouted. I'll miss one nice section of Maples that got bypassed but not the aeg! Once we hit Horton we looked for fish by the footbridge and checked out the spring. We saw two small trout and the spring looked nice as ever. Saw the first hiker of the day after that. Took some pics and a break then headed down Horton Trail. Downhill from here albeit rocky. Checked out the Apple tree on the way out. It had blossoms so maybe some Apples this year. Great loop hike! Along with great weather and company, it made for quite an enjoyable outing! Thanks gentlemen! Like HAZ, you rock!! |

Some flowers here and there, butterflies, a couple fungi, and one mushroom being hauled off by a squirrel! 
Hadn't done 1000 aeg in awhile or hike with Linda so I was glad to get this one in! Trail was in the usual shape. Handful of hikers out and all seemed friendly. 
The trails were in the usual shape with a quail or rabbit here and there. We saw just a tiny bit of water in one of the little canyons and it was 
and being hogged up by bees. Hackberry was worse, bee wise. I didn’t get a close look at the water hole but the area around the pipe had a layer of bees across the ground. Don’t think you could filter without getting stung! 
It was nice to get out in the Supes and get a hike in with Wally! Humidity is definitely on the rise!!
It was good to get out! Thanks for the hike Wally! Like HAZ, you rock!
Nice hike with a fair amount of shade on the climb is always welcome! Pretty quiet out there except for us chatting away!!
