It had been almost ten years (April'09) since I first visited this scenic, remote, and interesting off-trail area with HAZ- Eric (ssk44).

I was looking forward to a return trip and HAZ- Larry (Oregon_Hiker) was interested in joining me. This second trip was planned so we cound spend more time exploring a hidden cave area (actually a large alcove) at Pinal Creek Canyon that Eric and I stumbled onto when he and I first visited in April'09. On the short first visit, we visually determined that the cave may be used by still active inhabitant(s) as a location for a possible gold prospector to work/live out of and to store their personal and prospeting equipment. On this first visit, there was a very active bee hive on the roof of the cave so Eric and I could only view the cave inside from a distance. At this point, we then continued our enyoyable bushwhack

hiking day exploring up and back down rugged and scenic perennial Pinal Canyon Creek.

This March'19 visit is best described by Larry's HAZ triplog-
