I left my house in the late morning and meandered my way to Gordy's house.
A stop at el labritorio.
With weather in the 70s it was an ideal weekend to play outside.
We had some ideas to avoid Cave Creek Rd and right about this moment I said, "I wish we could ride this all the way out." Someone was listening. We found and linked trail and double track all the way to Carefree Hwy. We had two, yes two traffic lights from Gordy's to Tonto NF.
Rock on.
We really need to head back out to some of this and explore.
I doubt that.
There were a couple miles of road.
We stopped in Cave Creek to grab a few libations and were pleasantly surprised when we found a trail that paralleled Spur Cross Rd.
This here is horse territory and we saw lots but nary a negative encounter.
One must ride through the maricopa County Park to get to the Tonto NF.
The trail got rougher and the shadows were getting long. Time to look for camp.
Trail 4 goes all the way to 7 Springs but judging by what I saw and some reports I've read, its one heck of a 8 mile slog.
Home sweet home.
Big Agnes and the Tyvek ground sheet are most welcome additions to the set-up.
The fridge.
Filtering water.
A white gas/ everclear confusion creates entertainent and heat.
The penny stove does it's thing (with Everclear).
A little frost in the morning.
Elephant mtn
Elixir.
The key is to keep your feet dry.
On the road again.
Almost home.
Fin.
