Ok then, I recall two rock fields on Burnt Granite? Don 2

Still a little bit too far north, and too far east.  One more clue - it is in a wilderness area.
B
So that should put us in the Bull - I'll guess Bull of the Woods Trail 550. Bryon

You are getting closer!  And in the right Wilderness.  Any more and I will give it away.

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
