| no partners | | Three geocaches were newly placed off of the trail on the way to the wilderness boundary. They were my incentive for this hike. I started at Horseshoe Dam and walked FR479 to the trail, then followed the trail to the wilderness boundary. I diverted from the trail to find the three caches. On the way back, I went off trail again to find another geocache along the Verde.
I messed up getting on the Davenport trail and crossed Davenport creek. The water was flowing pretty good. I soon realized that I shouldn't have crossed, so I went back and got on the trail.
On the way out, one side by side stopped and asked me if I was ok. That's always nice as I may have had a disabled vehicle or something like that. I should have asked them what the river crossing was like but figured it was manageable since they were there. On the way back, two motorcyclists passed me, heading back to cross the dam walkway.
The weather was about perfect for the day. I had a T-shirt and a long sleeve button up shirt on and was comfortable the whole time.
At one time, a hummingbird hovered in front of my face. It had a bright violet head. Not sure I've seen one like that before. |
