| partners | | A nice loop hike near Payson. With these guys it was more like the Derelict loop but there were few witnesses to the antics. The hike up the Derrick trail was in cool temps and you got to satisfy your AEG hunger right off. 
The trail was in good shape but there was the sticky mud that added some weight to your shoes just to keep you honest. Denny stopped for a short break a few times. Bruce told me breaks were cheaper than a new transmission so something to ponder.
Once on the Highline trail I mentioned having hiked this with Denny back when but didn't remember this section. The section was smooth, flat and rock free. Bruce looked at his GPS and discovered we were on a rerouted section. We stopped at the intersections of the old route and noticed you could see the old trail.
Upon arriving at Horton Spring we checked out the spring of course. Denny developed a fascination with fish and wanted a photo of one in the water. The quest was unsuccessful but killed some time.
From Horton Spring on down we saw some hikers and backpackers coming up. We momentarily took a few wrong turns but found our way back to the car. No silver alert was issued.
It was fun to get out and hike with the boys. Thanks to Denny for driving.
