We planned on going to Reynolds Creek, but FR 410 was blocked off with firemen running around, so we turned around and drove back down to Parker, which never fails to deliver blown down trees. Sure enough, we found work to do! It was warmer, starting at the lower trailhead (5,050 ft), but as we reached higher elevations, shade and occasional clouds kept the heat at bay. I noticed a wave of heat on an exposed uphill climb before reaching the big rockfall and checked my thermometer to see it was over 90 degrees. Not liking the heat much, I turned around, and we made it back earlier than usual. We made good progress nonetheless.

We hiked down the Moody Point trail to the Rim Trail. Moody Point was in pretty good shape from our work last year, and we had fun hiking through some 6-foot high ferns in places. Our main event was clearing a log that we left on the Rim Trail the last time we were down that way. There was a meander around it, but we cleared the log to fix that. It got a little warm with temps reaching the 80s, but it wasn't that bad at all with some shade and breeze. Any monsoon clouds were to the east over in New Mexico. Looking forward to them getting here.

We hiked down the Murphy Trail #141 to the Rim Trail. Our work on Murphy last year held up well so on the way down we trimmed back the thickets minimally and headed north at the Rim Trail junction where we removed several larger trees between the junction and Cold Spring Canyon. Nice day with the temps in the low 70s.

We installed a new trail sign on the Lucky Strike on our way to check out Center Mountain. Last year's work on Center Mountain held up well, so we had a nice hike to the top and back, tweaking here and there along the way. I saw my first "Ancha" coatimundi on the drive out. Also a pair of colorful orange tanagers. Got no pics of either of those. Did get a nice shot of a big old horned lizard on the Lucky Strike. Weather was nice, not too warm up there.

We cleared Abbey's through to the second switchback. Most of the work was clearing raspberry bushes, New Mexican Locust, other prickly stuff and improving on previous trail work. The weather was fine, and we had a good day.

We returned to Abbey's after over a year and found projects in the expected areas, mostly around Peterson's Ranch. The skies were partly cloudy, and when the sun was out the work was warm and sweaty, then when clouds occasionally moved overhead, cool breezes refreshed us. In other words, perfect dehydration weather. We managed to keep hydrated enough to work our way up the trail towards the switchbacks. The hike back down was great, and we found and replaced the lost trailhead sign. Fun day!

Reynolds Creek Trail is open for business. We had a beautiful day to get a lot of work done from the Murphy junction to where we left off past Knolls Hole near the creek crossing. You should now find it clear from top to bottom.

Worked Reynolds down from Murphy past the sign on the saddle on Tuesday. Very nice weather up there. Another trip or three and we should have the entire trail clear from top to bottom.

We started work on Reynolds yesterday and were surprised by a huge tree right at the start. Warm weather and a bunch of other blowdowns on the lower portion of the trail kept our progress slow. It was a relief to get it cleared up to what Jim calls "Tunnel Rock."

We finished clearing Parker from the Hwy 288 trailhead to the marker post on the saddle yesterday. The weather was perfect for working. This hike is now ready for springtime!

Thanks to our Tonto Basin friends for doing a lot of work on this trail!

It took a while but we cleared the Rim Trail from the junction with the Parker Creek Trail to the Pueblo Canyon Overlook, including the three access trails, upper Parker, Moody and Murphy. I believe the Tonto Basin group is working on Parker Creek below the Dixon Saddle, so you'll be able to access the trail from SR 288.

I'd like to report that the Rim Trail is now cleared all the way from the junction with Parker Creek to the Pueblo Canyon Overlook!

That's what I'd like to report, but instead I must report that we ran into a cluster of large trees and overgrowth on Saturday, just before meeting up with our work from the other side.

We met up with hikers coming from the Moody Point trail who turned around there. Sounded like they were low on water.

That all was after working our way about four miles in, so after putting a dent in that mess, we got exhausted, and we still have at least one more trip before we break on through to the other side.

The weather conditions were perfect for working, and the views were spectacular. What a great day in the wilderness!

Hoping to finish up last Thursday, we ran into a cluster of big trees blocking and obscuring the trail through a wash just before the Deep Creek overlook. That area took a while. The trail is now clear from Parker to the overlook, but we still need to work some north of there.

Working again from the Parker Creek Trail, we pushed further towards where we left off when working from Moody weeks back. We cleared through a densely overgrown wash, several large trees and a whole bunch of chaparral. The loppers and shears are getting a workout, as are we.

We forged northbound on the Rim Trail from the upper Parker Creek trailhead.

Weather was beautiful up there with occasional snow flurries.

We ran into a couple of larger blowdowns, but other than that it was all clipping brush.

I missed a trip with Jim and Jerry last week while I was out with covid and they worked the Rim Trail from the Moody Point halfway to Parker. So Thursday, we went in from the Upper Parker Creek Trailhead, clearing Parker down to the junction with the Rim, then cleared the Rim through Trailside Spring. Mainly lots and lots of clipping brush!

We cleared the Moody Trail #140 down to the Rim Trail, then turned left and cleared the Rim Trail to where we left off clearing from the Murphy side. Not sure why they pushed the cooler temperatures back a few days, but it felt good to get it done. It should be relatively clear from Moody all the way past Devil's Chasm, past Cold Spring Canyon to Pueblo Canyon and back up Murphy. Several options there. Next we're looking at the Rim Trail south to the Parker Creek Trail.

We continued clearing Moody down towards the Rim Trail. I'm guessing we may be more than half way there. It was warm, but we're hopeful that the temps will be cooling down soon and before long we'll be working the Rim towards where we left off on the Murphy side, then towards Parker.
