Well I picked up Roger today and took him out for a run around the Cactus Flats area. Roger is lonely now since he sold his Jeep 2 days ago so we spent about 5 hours checking trails. We hit 2N67 off of Hwy 18 to look for a route to a mine I wanted to visit. We drove along this cool little trail for a bit and turned around not wanting to get too far on this remote trail. There are a couple of tippy spots due to wash outs. We were disappointed to see more SBNF sponsered blocked trails along the way, including one to an area guzzler.
WHY?
Next we went up 3N03 Cactus Flats/Smarts Ranch trail. I showed Roger a local mine that has been blocked and plugged via rocks and expanding foam. Too bad, probably was neat to see once upon a time.
Next we went to check out a side trail I had noticed last Tueday. A nice, well established dirt road that went back 1/2 mile and then was blocked with the Obama American Recovery Act rocks. Past the rocks the trail went to a nice loop and parking area to an established hiking trail head. Beautiful area.
Then as we headed back to Hwy 18 we went thru the Cactus Flats Staging Area to see what was there. We found a nice Blue Square trail that led up to Hwy 18 upabove that neither of us had been on before. I asked for Roger to spot me on two spots the were really off camber due to washout ruts. Roger saw a line I didn't and we were back cruising up to Hwy 18.
A great day on the trail. Cool weather with great clouds blowing thru.
Thank you Roger! Wonderful company today.
