Ryan and I met Wally and Denny at the FW trailhead at 5:30 to join them on a hike in the Superstitions. We headed out on the Dutchman trail and took a slight detour to do a small search for the arrastra site near east/west Boulder Canyons. We didn't located the arrastra itself but Denny located a large carcass. The thoughts were either horse or cow. From there we got on the Black Mesa trail and headed up near the base of Yellow Peak. At that point we parted with Wally and Denny with them heading up Yellow Peak and Ryan and I finishing the loop. On the way back to the trailhead we ran into a rattler on Black Mesa trail. Since Ryan almost stepped on him as he was stretched out on the trail he was slightly irritated, and slow in moving off the trail.

Really enjoyed hiking with Wally and Denny, who by the way are my first and second hiking partners. Thanks guys!
