Nice trip. Domestic dog skull. Not telescoped like a coyote and has a steep forehead. |

Great trip Rocko1! Healthy pinons for sure! Being blessed with mostly predictably dry weather during our desert season, I almost exclusively cowboy camp. Especially with all those boulders to set up as windbreaks. I've had only one issue with cowboy camping, and that was when one night, the wind piled a bunch of dry cholla balls up against my bag. I was essentially a 'cholla dam'. Good lesson, I'm so much better now at picking my spots. Thanks for posting. |

Looks like a great area to explore! Was the water source a seep or more substantial? There isn't an area of S.D. County I've visited yet that doesn't have discarded backpacks, clothing, and water bottles. People are desperate for a better / safer way of life and are willing to traverse some horrendous terrain to get there. |

Nicely done! I'm still thinking about a route, but not getting any younger. If you saved a gpx track, wouldn't mind seeing the general route you did in map form.

This is what I used. https://caltopo.com/m/TNA0 Trip obviously can be done in more time, less rushing. It's sort of works out for 20 mile days with the cache locations. |

Good-looking trip Tom. That pestle is the largest I've seen out there. I miss the Sawtooth spine, spent the better part of a day kicking around up there once. Amazing what you can detect for confirm from satellite imagery. Once saw two bighorn rams side by side, drinking at a guzzler on satellite. |
