Have always wanted to meet the coder that created this site. Saw Joe's wish list post and said I'm in. There has to be an easier way to meet Joe than lopping your way thru catclaw? :? My longest hike before this was 12 Miles to Reavis Falls and back. Needless to say I'm feeling it some today :lol: . Was worth every mile getting to know an amazing hiker and fellow coder :app:

Fun Hike today to the Rogers Canyon Ruins. There were 5 or 6 vehicles parked at the Rogers Trough trailhead when we got there at about 10:30. We passed two groups of backpakers on our way to the ruins and another 3 or 4 pairs of hikers. There was another group of hikers at the site when we got there but they were just getting ready to leave so we had the site all to ourselves for the half hour we stayed and explored. The mud that was used for construction seemed extremely hard. Felt more like concrete than mud if you ask me.

Rogers creek had copious amounts of clear running water the entire length of the hike.

The longest part was the drive to the Rogers Trough trailhead. The drive was very scenic and bumpy with lots of ORVs kicking up a of dust on the road. We drove a 2 wheel drive pickup and except for that last hairpin turn (where I had to do a little reversing) we had no problems. I would not attempt this drive without a 4x4 if there was a recent rain or a hint of rain in the forecast
