Trail Log: 11-26-2022

  • Trail: Harquahala Wilderness to Game Water and Old Mine
  • Miles: 7.3
  • Riders: Self - Blair - Cheri
  • Horses: Jack - Uptown - Sprout
  • Dogs: Slick (went in Philippi's truck so left my dogs at home)
Cheri - Me - Slick and our desert treasure


Notes: Today was pilfer in the desert day. Blair and Cheri took us on a ride to the base of the Harquahala mountain range to a developed game waterer and an old mine. So far I cannot find the name of the mine. We milled around looking for cool desert treasures to pack home. Cheri packed a nice, intact kerosene can home tied to the back of Sprout and few other treasures. I found an old bottle with the metal lid still attached and a jar with its metal lid with what appears to be tobacco or coffee inside. Blair thinks is an old spit jar...but I'm going with coffee or un-regurgitated tobacco. I doubt any old minor would bother with spitting into a jar. Pretty sure they hock it right on the ground anywhere they happen to be.  

It's pretty rocky up in the desert hills - but worth every step.
