I think we made a wrong turn back at the "wood pile"/dilapidated tin shack area. After not finding the trail immediately past that area, we doubled back about 20-30 yards, and headed back across the creek and up the valley along the Yellow Arrow Trail. My hypothesis is that the Blue Arrow Trail was back at the shack, and was a sharper left than what we were expecting.

I'm going to go back and check out the Blue Arrow Trail again - maybe try to come in from the other side.
I'm going to put some good ol' government topo maps on order at work, to hopefully alleviate this issue in the future. I'll let you know the timeline on when they come in.

I had to do an immediate pad replacement, the rear started squawking on the way to work this a.m. and the last thing I needed was gouged rotors (though it didn't really matter when I saw how thin they were). I threw on some VGX ceramics, front and rear. They've worked for me in the past and I trust them for the limited time they will be on there. I'll put new rotors on when my refund check for the new home comes in and add some new Hawks at the same time.

That's from a couple of weeks ago. This one is from a couple of months ago out at Rattlesnake Canyon.

Not a cloud in the sky, about 70 degrees . . . man I'm glad we're finally getting decent weather now (it's 22 degrees outside at the moment).
