| no partners | | I never seem to be able to stick to a planned route in the Goldfields, and I never really care that much while I'm doing it. I started out heading out on the Willow Springs Canyon East Trail. I wanted to go further out to the north, but started heading south in the wash sooner than I was supposed to. Once I figured that out, I decided to just keep going and then circled around later on the Willow Springs Upper Trail to another trail that headed directly north thru a slot canyon before I bushwhacked to the road again and headed back to the trailhead.
While in the wash at one point, I saw 3 javelina, one was laying down in the sand. That one and one other took off right away into the brush. The 3rd one sat there for a little, allowing me to get a couple pics. Once I started walking again, that one took off down the wash. I was surprised at how fast they can move, and relieved that it was running away from me.
The weather was very cool and breezy early on, but got pretty warm as soon as the sun hit. Saw one 4 wheeler on my back on the road, and the only hikers on the WS Upper when I circled around again. Got lower mileage as the rocky trails in this area always slow me down. |
