We did the Peralta TH - Dripping Springs - Red Tanks - Whiskey Springs - TH loop as a 2 day backpack trip. The trip from the trailhead to dripping springs was great. Trail was easy to follow. With all the water in Randolph canyon, it makes you look that much harder for a trail that keeps you from getting wet. There always is one. We had lunch at dripping springs thinking we could get to our campsite near the Hoolie Bacon intersection by mid afternoon. That didn't happen. Going up the Red Tanks was a real challenge. The catclaw and the general vegetation overgrowth was pretty bad. I think we were on the trail most of the time. At least one time I'm pretty sure we weren't, as I don't remember the need for class 5 rock climbing skills the last time I did this. We did a lot re-tracing our steps, a lot of searching and a lot of "oh well, we need to get to the top and we're going up". Going down the red tanks into Brad's water was a bit easier. However, once we got near Brad's water we completely lost the trail. It was 4:30 so we decided to set-up camp and find the trail in the morning. We followed the GPS and plowed through dense vegetation and finally reconnected with the trail. (a cairn can be a beautiful sight!). The rest of trip was like a "superstitions super highway" compared to the red tanks. Hey, in couple weeds I'll forget how miserable it was and do another one just as bad.

It's been awhile since I've done Cuff Button. I don't think I'll be doing again for awhile. I left Miles Trailhead at 7:30am. Heading north to saddle that takes you down to the creek bed was very difficult to follow. I don't think I was on the actual trail more than 50% of the time, even though I was following my tracks from a previous trip. Once I dropped down into the creek bed, the travel was nice ... early morning shade, a lot of firm sandy sections to walk on and no catclaw to fight with. Heading west from Burrow spring things got much worse. Irv Kanode and I had done this back in 2005 and I remember a lot of vegetation. (Irv had the foresight to to bring along a saw and pruning shears). It was nasty, but not as bad as this trip. I had my shears and saw but it was slowing me down so much, I finally just starting plowing through the stuff. At one point (approaching the saddle about 1mi east of Sycamore Spring) I was completely disoriented. I followed a creek bed that I knew was parallel to the trail and then headed on a perpendicular path (through a catclaw forest) until I crossed it. Once past the saddle, the trail was easier to follow, until I was past Sycamore spring. From here to the south heading section, the vegetation was bad again. I figure the overgrown catclaw cost me a 2.5hour time penalty.
