Buckeye Hills Trail 10.23.11 (1 Viewer)

For my birthday weekend I wanted to hit some trails. We thought about posting the run but I was still working on my rig and didn't know for sure if I was going to be ready. We didn't want to post and then to have to cancel.

Both LeftArmTan (Jim) and I live in the West Valley. We usually wheel the White Tanks, but this time I wanted a bit more sight seeing. Buckeye Hills is about 3 miles south of MC85 and Jackrabbit Trail rd.

The kids had a blast. We started at 9 and the weather was a perfect 70 degrees. We finished around 12:30.

Here's a waterfall I could not overcome, and had to winch myself out.

Here's Jim stacking rocks for me.

We even had a chance to explore what we thought were abandone mines.

Not much to a mine, just a hole in the mountain.

In between trails we stopped to each and drink. And let the kids run around.

we had a blast. and the trail was not too long or challenging. Just one obstacle I could not overcome.

Not far from my place, but I am not sure where it is exactly.

Looks like searching in my future

It was a blast, thanks. Got a bit too warm at the end, but mostly because my redhead was completely Topless.
