| partners | | | Short hike near home to take advantage of the good weather before the storms of the next week. We hiked a portion of the AT between X9 road and Hope Camp. Really easy walking on a trail that was designed for mountain bikers, way too many long winding loops. We did this hike close to sunset because the Rincon's are at their best when the sun is setting on them. Rincon Creek had a good flow of water. Hope camp wind mill is still standing with most of the parts on the ground, the rudder is still up there displaying the Ronstadt Hardware store markings (Linda would be happy to hear this). The views of Tanque Verde ridge are impressive. I keep looking for a shorter way to get to the Madrona Ranger Station but aside from crossing private property or cutting across the park it still appears the shortest way is from the Quilter Trail or from Happy Valley. I need to get to know someone who lives on the X9 Ranch. Back in the 60's the X9 Ranch to Happy Valley Saddle was the best way to get up to Mica Mountain. Good day for a short hike. |
