I decided to take the day off and at 8am I decided on this "hike". Most people will be better off driving to Mills Ridge and starting there. I wanted to hit Vineyard Mountain so I started from the bridge. Took the Vineyard trail and then easy off-trail to the top of Vineyard Mountain. Did some more off trail up the wash and got to Mills Ridge. The trail workers were making Four peaks trail look like a Scottsdale trail. I know they work hard and have grant money but...... :wrt: . Moving on the off-trail to Camelback was brutal. The route off was good for about .25 miles and then was brutal. It was.... in the drainage out of the drainage snow traverses hellish manzanita and mean Holly. Finally, Buckhorn creek made for a nice way down. Next I went to the ruins and then did a little double time on the ridge. And pretty much stayed on trail until I was startled by a bright light down canyon. Next thing I know a aircraft is hovering with yellow/goldish lights. I got freaked out and realized I was off-trail but quickly fixed it. Very freaky night. Maybe it was some spaceship like drone that is being tested. :scared: or maybe it was aliens.
