long dry walk

Dredgernaut,
I am sorry to hear about your home front 😕
If I was in the area, I’d come bring some food to cook with you 👌🤓
Sometimes good food can help, 😜
I’m still almost 6 weeks away, from getting there though.

I hope things get better. 👍
I’m glad to see you are reaching out, rather than not 👌😎

I’ll be sending good thoughts your way, and hoping that it warms up just enough for you to make it back in there, without freezing.
With the occasional rain and downpours lately, I’ll bet you’re glad you put a camper on your truck 🥳😁

Take care, I wish I had better words.

But it's your life.. find time,take time,make time.. come on out, I'll take you on an adventure...

Jeremy, I truly appreciate the offer, but it's not in the cards for me any longer. I'm 64, got emphysema and the body is shot, not to mention that my wife has dementia and I'm her caregiver 18 hrs a day. Even if I could get there, I *might* make it 50 yds. on that trail..

Sorry to hear about the issues with you and your Mrs. From experience, I can honestly say that divorce is kinda like having a kidney stone...it hurts like hell, but this too shall pass.

Having been divorced a couple times ; I'm an authority on relationships.
L.o.l..

Been divorced three times, and happily married now [finally] for over 21 years. My girl's sick right now, but no matter, she's still my girl.

👌👍
When trying to schedule with ok for a gear drop, we had options for February, and for April. Forecasts called for a cooler and wetter February …. We picked April 🤷🏼‍♂️

We just got some snow here in Idaho yesterday, but it’s already gone 👀

Glad to hear your doing good 😎
If I was there, I’d still bring something good to cook 😁👍

Yes. It's from peralta rd.. lots of nice sunsets down here..

 

[Red_desert]

Yes, that's a good area. Have you ever seen the volcanic cone with a side of top collapsed? That should be up more maybe NW. From photo (still have somewhere) it appears to have a visible fault line running next to it.

 

[Red_desert]

Found it in a thumbdrive and this is on one lower side of it

Back more...

Still to close.

Maybe again...

Strange formmations, even for the Superstitions.

Nice pics. Sorry, I don't search on the west side.. I just camp there sometimes for access to supplies and laundry and my phone works there.. I might do a short hike or ride bike .. but, I do my hiking on the other side of the range.. it is very scenic on peralta rd. though..

 

[Red_desert]

It's closer to Peralta than west side area. Never was there myself only had photos emailed to me years ago. If I went anywhere in the Superstitions, probably would be to get photos to paint.

Almost looks like a mound of some type at the bottom here.

Do I see a heart?
