You are too far east now.  My last response had a clue in it.

Well with that CLUE, it must be Mr. Bagby's trail #544. Laugh

Nope, you're not even in the neighborhood.  It is in a wilderness area though. Cool

IMG_3785.jpgSo what happened to this thread? Did it die or what? I know life is a big distraction, but get over it. Do I need to post a photo and get this thing going again? Too late!  
K
Yeah, since no one was able to figure out where my last photo was, I'll be able to bring it back someday.  I guess it was just too risqué. Wink   So what's your elevation here? Maybe 4,000' to 5,000'?

Looks like someplace I've been near Signal Butte.

Kirk it is more 3500'-4000'ish. Donavon it isn't anywhere near Signal Buttes, more to the south of the district. Actually this is a current district trail that isn't on our current district map, aka 2002 version, but has new signs at the trailheads. This section of trail is through an old clearcut, so more light = more brush growing every year. Probably the most brushiest section on the whole trail. I throw off sticks and rocks with my hiking stick, but I didn't bring any other tools (i.e., loppers or handsaw) with me to work for this was a pleasure hike. Sometimes we must leave our tools at home and just hike for the pleasure of it all, lest we forget. Don

Ok then. Now it reminds me of Rho Creek.   Don2
K
Don2, I think you might be onto something there. I've never been, but it sounds plausible given these most recent clues.   Kirk

  Rho Creek Trail it is. I was up there last month when we had a VW campout. The clearcut section looks like it needs to be reamed out, but that was as far as I hiked. There were a few downed logs across the trail, but not bad. If I remember right, it was kind of a wet weekend and with a couple of the members having a birthday on 4/20, not alot of work got done trailwise, if you know what I mean. So Donavon it's your turn to post something. Don
D
That's growing in nicely. Always good in areas like that to pull the baby trees right out of the earth mother to keep the corridor opener over time. Two clearcuts, right? One uglier than the other if I remeber right. I would like to get up there this year.   Picture on its way.   Don2

K
Are you at, or near the high point of the trail?
R
I'm thinking you are on the Rimrock overlook trail, out on the point.
D
That was pretty easy, huh. Your turn Rob.
