- Trail: Powerline Rd. - Harquahala Mountain - Sheep corrals
- Miles: 11.1
- Riders: Self - Patty
- Horses: Jack and Mocha
Notes: A ride of the unexpected. Riding along on a dirt four wheeler road, look down and see a big turtle moseying across the path. A desert tortoise, according to google image search. We watched it for awhile, fed it some purple flowers and went on our way. Rode the base of the Harquahala Mountain and followed a faint trail to some rock ruins nestled back in a canyon. We were told it was an old sheep corral, but there is also a mine close by so it could be a mining camp. Not finding anything on-line about it yet. The desert is starting to bloom out and the snakes are waking up from their winter hibernation. This was my favorite Arizona desert ride so far.
