| partners | | S & J were going to Circlestone and W couldn't pass it up.  The drive in FR449A wasn't too bad. The road is sandy but nothing requiring 4wd at the moment. It looks like a storm may roll through there and may change that.
We started before 8am and the temps were cool. There was plenty of shade on the way up Campaign trail and slight breeze. The trail is there for a while but the creek is a good option. One section beyond brushy spring is a catclaw fest so we knew to skip that leg up the west bank. I tried it last time out and paid the toll. 
The trip up Fireline trail is steep with one trick wash crossing that is easily missed on the way back. There is a tree to climb over near the creek but easy to follow otherwise. The rocks on the trail and the creek hiking did take a toll on the toes. Unfortunately Jason had to pull up early but Stephanie and I pressed on up the Circlestone. I took a few more photos this time thinking it may be a while before I'm back but I thought that last year too.
It was a but warm on the climb up Fireline and the way down Campaign Creek in the sun but not horrible. The breeze was cool giving relief along the way. I brought a filter but opted not to get extra water. The water from Brushy Spring back looked pretty good.
We made better time on the return and finished in the light. It was a nice day on a trail that was but could be again with some work. Nice to get out with S & j to kick up some dirt.
