This was our first time doing this trail and we enjoyed the scenery.

 

 

 

 

We found a shady spot for lunch and then continued up to the higher elevation. George found us a great camp site with amazing views of Roosevelt Lake below. We got to camp early but it was really enjoyable to relax in the shade with great people!

 

Jeff's rig looked great. He then made me jealous with hammocks to relax in!

 

 

Love that view:

 

Our camp for the night. Glad we slept in the Jeep as during the night the winds really picked up.

 

 

We were all spoiled with Scott's new addition to the family. The puppy was adorable!!

 

 

We then relaxed by the two propane fire rings.

 

 

 

 

Sunset was beautiful

 

Then since you know me I was up early and got to watch an amazing sunrise too:

 

 

 

The group split in half with one leaving camp earlier. As we were going down the backside of the mountain towards Punkin Center we noticed a new wildfire towards the direction of Payson.

 

 

More great views as we flew down the dirt road:

 

Scott has found the most relaxed puppy. She was helping supervise the airing-up:

 

 

Thanks to all for coming out and making this another fun adventure with ORP! See you on the next one!

Cool! I've never seen them before. So, it's edible, I assume, and how does it taste?

They're pretty bland. When ripe, you can roast them.
