Sunday, March 24th, 2013
I hiked out of Flagstaff this morning for a 288 mile section hike to the Picketpost Trailhead near Superior ending April 13. I hiked this section in 18 days in October of 2012. With 22 days planned, I hope to have time to explore the Superstition Range and climb up Picketpost Mountain. I have extra maps of the Highline Trail System near Pine and of the Superstitions so I can hike some new (to me) trails.

The morning was chilly enough for frost to form in my beard. There was snow in patches off the Arizona Trail and plenty in the San Francisco Range. Slippery mud on the trail was limited to small patches, not enough to slow me. I saw about 30 Elk Cervus elaphus in 3 herds, one Mule Deer Odocoileus hemionus, and a hawk. Several places squirrels had chewed off the tips of pine branches and then eaten the bark off a few of the needle brooms on the forest floor. I met about 10 hikers, including two pairs of backpackers. There was plenty of water in all the shallow ponds of Anderson Mesa, and frogs were singing in Prime Lake. Birds were everywhere. I passed the USGS Observatory and its Perkins Telescope, and the array of tubes.

Rio de Flag and Sewage Discharge
With headwaters on the southwestern slopes of the San Francisco Peaks near Big Leroux and Little Leroux Springs, the Rio de Flag is a tributary of San Francisco Wash, then to the Little Colorado River. There are high natural flows in winter due to snowmelt, and in summer due to monsoons, but little natural flow at other times.

The stream passes through Flagstaff, with residential, industrial, railroad, and etcetera sites on its banks. Where the Arizona Trail Flagstaff Resupply Route passes under I40, Flagstaff's Rio De Flag Wastewater Reclamation Plant discharges treated sewage into the Rio de Flag. The treatment process includes screening, primary sedimentation, aeration, secondary sedimentation, filtration, and ultraviolet light sterilization, and results in Class A+ effluent. Class A water is legally allowed to be used in irrigation of food crops and residential and school landscaping, in recreational impoundments, in toilet and urinal flushing, in fire protection, and in snowmaking. A two-stage anoxic/aerobic Bardenpho process is used to reduce nitrogen content. Flagstaff's Wildcat Hill Wastewater Treatment Plant uses a similar process except that chlorine is used rather than ultraviolet light for sterilization. Its discharge is between the resupply and bypass routes. The Rio de Flag is considered an Effluent Dependent Water. That is, it would be ephemeral (dry in some seasons), but the effluent discharge from the two plants causes the river to flow year round. The high nutrient level as compared to natural streams results in more algae, and therfore in more critters through the food chain of the Rio de Flag.

Downstream a few miles, the Arizona Trail Flagstaff Bypass Route crosses the Rio de Flag north of I40. I have observed that the water in both locations appears clear, and that in both locations there is a powerful treated sewage smell. Obviously, using Rio de Flag water is not recommended.

I saw Elk, Steller's Jays Cyanocitta stelleri and Western Scrub Jays Aphelocoma californica. A few quick lizards defied identification. The Mormon Lake Store closed at 2: I showed up at 3. What's worse: The restaurant is open only on weekends. So sad!

Mineral Belt Railroad
In 1883, eastern financiers, including magnates of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, began to build a railroad south from the transcontinental railroad at Flagstaff to service lumber interests and mines near Globe. Today, along the Arizona Trail as it passes Mormon Lake, many cuts and berms still testify to the many logging spurs of this railroad project. The Mormon Lake Resort, an Arizona Trail resupply point, was originally built to serve tourists on this railroad. Off the Arizona Trail as it drops off the Mogollon Rim, in the headwaters of the East Verde River, a tunnel was begun to route the railroad down off the rim to the river valley. The tunnel was abandoned, and the railroad was eventually routed elsewhere, but there is still a spur trail, Railroad Tunnel Trail 390, off the Arizona Trail to the tunnel site.

Rail Spike in Tie

By 1887, 40 miles of track were operating. The same year, finances collapsed and the railroad was sold at a tax auction for $40,440. Now the Central Arizona Railway Company, it largely hauled lumber to Flagstaff. Between 1923 and 1927, the line belonged to the Flagstaff Lumber Company, and with extensive logging came many of the spurs a hiker sees, but operations then ceased and the lines went into ruin.

Yesterday and today there were many snow and mud patches on the trail, but they didn't cause navigation problems and they didn't slow my walking much. There were many prints and scat from Wild Turkeys Meleagris gallopavo. I saw an Elk scrape in the mud.

Wednesday, March 27th, 2013
Due to boot problems, I went off trail to Payson. The boot soles had delaminated. I replaced the boots and supplemented my food. I saw Elk and heard Coyotes Canis latrans and woodpeckers. At the Blue Ridge Ranger Station I asked the archaeologist about the Los Pinos Tablet above, but as on my fall 2012 hike here, none of the staff was aware of its existence. The Snail Fossil below was also north of Highway 87.

Mogollon Rim
The Mogollon Rim is an escarpment defining the southwestern edge of the Colorado Plateau. Southbound on the Arizona Trail, one hikes down off the Plateau near the monument to the Battle of Big Dry Wash, and while descending along the East Verde River sees the ecosystem change from pine forest to chapparal. The Arizona Trail (Locally on the Highline Trail) traverses part way up the slope of the escarpment to the town of Pine, then heads south of the Rim.

The Mogollon Rim divides ecosystem types across much of Arizona. To the north are lands 8000 feet above sea level with Ponderosa Pine forests. To the south, lands are at 4 or 5 thousand feet. Plants and animals to the north are typical of the lower Rocky Mountains, with desert, grassland, and chapparal ecosystems to the south. Arizona Trail throughhikers will note the transition from open, easy hiking in sparse pine forests to the north to bushwhacking through spiny bushes and cacti to the south.

The rim is named for Don Juan Ignacio Flores Mogollón, the Spanish Governor of New Mexico from 1712 to 1715.

Where the rim is a high escarpment one can explore the Kaibab Limestone and Coconino Sandstone geologic layers. These were formed from sediments deposited in the Carboniferous and Permian Periods. They can also be seen in the Grand Canyon and in other deep gorges. Above and below the rim, basaltic lava flows sometimes cover the limestone and sandstone. The uppermost sandstone layer of the Mogollon Rim, called the Coconino Sandstone, is white. So when one looks northeast at the rim east of Pine from the Mazatzal Range, high white cliffs are seen. The Coconino Sandstone formation of the Permian Period is of aeolian or windblown origin and is one of the thickest sand dune derived sandstones on earth.

Two firefighters gave me a ride to Payson last night, and back this morning. Many Thanks!! South of the Fred Haught Trail, the AZT was covered with enough snow that I cross countried to the Tunnel Trailhead on the Mogollon Rim. The tunnel start, discussed earlier, and the associated rock cabin, were an interesting side trip.

The Battle of Big Dry Wash
On July 17, 1882 the United States Army's 3rd and 6th Cavalry Regiments fought members of the White Mountain Apaches at Big Dry Wash, just to the east of the Arizona Trail. Perhaps 16-27 Apaches were killed, and 4 soldiers won the Medal of Honor. Well to the south of the battle site, also adjacent to the Arizona Trail, where it drops off the Mogollon Rim to the headwaters of the East Verde River, is a large monument to the battle.

East Verde River
The Arizona Trail fords the East Verde River several times at its headwaters just under the Mogollon Rim and again further downstream near LF Ranch. Between these two crossings, at Washington Park, the Salt River Project adds to the natural flow waters from East Clear Creek impounded at Blue Ridge Reservoir via a 17 mile pipeline. West and downstream of LF Ranch, it joins the Verde River, where the water is again impounded at Horseshoe Dam.

It was warmer, so many dark lizards were out, and I walked without a fleece jacket for the first time on this trip. A trail crew was constructing new Arizona or Highline Trail tread to avoid a 30' erosion gully north of Bear Spring. Many Thanks!!!

The Highline National Recreation Trail
The Highline Trail travels 51 miles from Pine on Highway 87 to Highway 260 at the Two-Sixty Trailhead. The trail and various spurs connected ranches and homesteads in the late 1800s. The trail runs below and to the south of the Mogollon Rim, and spurs to the top are steep and rocky, with elevations from 5 to 8,000 feet. There is a parallel NRT, the General George Crook National Recreation Trail, atop the rim, which runs quite close to high grade gravel road FR300 and not necesarily near enough to the Mogollon Rim for views. The Arizona Trail is on the western 17 miles of the Highline Trail.

General George Crook National Recreation Trail 130
The General Crook NR Trail is a section of the trail which famous Indian fighter General George Crook blazed from Camp Verde to Fort Apache. Beyond its historic merit, the Crook Trail follows one of the more striking geologic features in Arizona, the Mogollon Rim. This 2,000 foot escarpment, named for one of the Spanish colonial governors of New Mexico, forms the southern edge of the Colorado Plateau. The trail winds between the edge of this 400 mile-long cliff and FR300, which parallels the rim across the Forest. Where the trail is on the rim it offers spectacular views of the state's central mountains and desert. Four Peaks, the Sierra Anchas, and the Mazatzals stand out among the scenery. At night, the lights of Payson shine from 2,000 feet below and 15 miles away. I downloaded a JPEG image of a map of the General George Crook National Recreation Trail 130 and of other trails north of the rim, including: the Fred Haught Trail, the Houston Brothers Trail, the Barbershop Trail, and the U-Bar Trail, along with major area forest roads. Loop hikes could be made.

Camp Geronimo
Camp Geronimo is a Boy Scout Camp east of Pine, Arizona. It has been at this location, the former Spade Ranch, for over 50 years, but has been located eleswhere previously. It is mostly used for one week summer camps.

Walking over Milk Ranch Point
I hiked the entire Arizona Trail in the fall, so I'm looking for some variety on this trip. So today, rather than traversing around Milk Ranch Point on the AZT or Highline Trail, I followed Geronimo Trail 240, Turkey Trail 217, West Webber Trail 228, Milk Ranch Point Forest Road 218, and Donahue Trail 27, hiking over the top of Milk Ranch Point. Milk Ranch Point is a promontory of the Mogollon Rim, sticking out to the south, and is just east of Pine. I'll continue on 27 tomorrow to return to the AZT. I used a PDF map of the Highline Trail and its spurs. This showed the necesary trails, names, and numbers, and was fine for navigation, but was missing some trails and didn't always match signage. The detailed topographic AZT maps showed some of the route, but the trail locations were sometimes wrong and trail names and numbers were not shown. The Geronimo and Turkey Trails were easily traveled dirt roads. The West Webber Trail was steep and had many blowdowns, but was very pretty, crossed many streams, and was easy to navigate. The Donahue Trail was buried in blowdowns for a while, but otherwise easy enough to follow. The whole route had plenty of water sources, but there were still small snow patches about, so water may be in shorter supply on other trips. I enjoyed the diversion.

I saw a dozen Gambel's Quail Callipepla gambelii, and a Whitetail Deer Odocoileus virginianus. There were three elk, one with small antlers, and cattle. Whiterock Mesa is a very rocky grassland studded with Utah Juniper Juniperus osteosperma, Prickly Pear Opuntia, yucca, and barrel cacti. Until today, the trip has mostly been in pine forest with a few barrel cacti.

Alternate Routes to Pine
For some time I've though that long distance hikers spend too much time hitchhiking and walking highways to get to resupply towns. So here are some ideas for getting into Pine on trails and lesser roads: I walked out of THAT Brewery south on Highway 87 just 100 yards or so, then west on Bradshaw Drive, then south on Old County Road to the AZT. The route was perhaps a half mile and left the highway asap. A NOBO AZT hiker could take the Walnut Trail to the west side of Pine, then FR428 into town. The Walnut Trail also continues north to Strawberry and then to Highway 87. A SOBO hiker could leave the AZT at the Pine Trailhead, and by following the trailhead driveway would have a much shorter highway walk than if he had walked from the AZT crossing of 87 into Pine.

At LF Ranch I saw dogs, chickens, peacocks, cows, and horses. I took an alternative route from the East Verde River up into the Mazatzals. From LF Ranch I followed FR406W and 406 east to the City Creek Trailhead, then Mazatzal Divide Trail 23 up to the divide and the AZT. The roads were easily followed and had multiple stream crossings and the nearby East Verde River for water. Trail 23 was brushy for a short section, but was in generally good shape, had water at a wash crossing, and great views, including Milk Ranch Point and the Mogollon Rim. A Coconino County Trail crew was out surveying trail maintenance conditions for future work crews. Many Thanks!!!

I took the Brody Seep Trail 264 where it parallels the AZT. In a few hundred easy yards was the open Chilson Camp, with a pipe fed trough that wasn't working. Then the trail dropped into some nicely flowing creeks. After that, the trail was so overgrown that walking and navigating were both a pain and very time consuming. I met Brian, section hiking from Roosevelt Lake to Pine, and two northbound thruhikers. They had not met other AZT thruhikers, but had met several Grand Enchantment Trail thruhikers.

I met 3 northbound section hikers. One told me rattlesnakes are out in force in the Superstition Range. Though I've seen lizards, I've seen no snakes so far. There were many mine tunnel entrances visible from the AZT. Named mines in the vicinity include: the Cornucopia Mine, the Story Mine, and the National Mine.

Mining in McFarland Canyon and at the Story Mine
Many mine tunnel entrances are visible from the Arizona Trail in McFarland Canyon, and the Story (often spelled Storey) Mine is just off the AZT just south of McFarland Canyon. I found USGS and US Bureau of Mines reports online on the mining potential of the Mazatzal Wilderness which told some of the story.

The Story Mine is in a Gold, Silver, and Lead deposit on the eastern edge of the Mazatzal Wilderness east of Saddle Mountain. It is estimated that 78,000 tons of ore remain. However, records are incomplete and tunnels have collapsed, so much more of the ore may already have been extracted. The ore contains 0.06 oz/ton gold, 1.9 oz/ton silver, and 3.9 percent lead.

The McFarland Canyon workings show evidence of gold-pyrite-arsenopyrite mineralization. These works have no roads, so are probably quite old. Arsenic, gold, silver, lead, and small amounts of copper are in the ore, in similar proportions to that of the Story Mine.

This is the only area in the Mazatzal Wilderness which has sufficient mineralization that mining might be economically feasable some day.

Wolf Spider Hole

Thursday, April 4th, 2013
In Boulder Creek Canyon I saw the hole of a Wolf Spider Hogna carolinensis. Its hole, just less than an inch in diameter and descending straight down for the few inches I could see, was surrounded by a collar of twigs and grass stalks bonded together by silk. I also saw a White Tail Deer Buck Odocoileus virginianus, with small antlers. On ascent from Boulder Creek to FR422 I saw a Striped Whipsnake Masticophis taeniatus.

Western Rattlesnake

Friday, April 5th, 2013
In 4 Peaks Passage 20 I found a very calm Arizona Black Race Western Rattlesnake Crotalus viridis. Passage 20 was in excellent shape, as a Coconino County Rural Conservation Corps crew had worked from the Mills Ridge Trailhead to near Shake Spring, clearing a wide brushless corridor, and often reworking the tread. Bob and John, Arizona Trail Association volunteers, were working between Shake Spring and Pigeon Spring, and we talked a while. The section was in much better shape than when I walked it in the autumn. Thanks to all who helped!!!

I met an AZT thruhiker from Mesa and Bernard M. I had met him a couple of years earlier on the Florida Trail and we had occasionally corresponded by email. Bernard was hiking from Mexico to Pine. Later in the trip he hurt his foot fairly badly, and hobbled out. He saw eight Gila Monsters on this trip!!!

Roosevelt Dam and O'Roarks Camp
Just to the north of the Salt River and Theodore Roosevelt Dam, the Arizona Trail passes through the former site of O'Roarks Camp, where dam construction workers lived. Though the camp was dismantled when the dam was completed, there are still plenty of foundations and nails visible from the trail.

The dam was built in 1905-1911 and enlarged in 1989-1996. It impounds the Salt River and Tonto Creek for flood control and irrigation purposes and can generate 36 megawatts of electricity. It can hold over a million acre-feet of water.

The Salt River and the Salt River Project
The Salt River is the largest tributary of the Gila River. It drains about 13,700 square miles. It is impounded by Theodore Roosevelt Dam (Roosevelt Lake), Horse Mesa Dam (Apache Lake), Mormon Flat Dam (Canyon Lake), and Stewart Mountain Dam (Saguaro Lake). The water is used in the Phoenix area for farming, industry, and city water.

Prospecting in The Superstition Mountain Range
Although the Superstitions are made of poorly mineralized volcanic rock, there are no shortage of prospectors out looking for the Lost Dutchman’s Mine, many other historic mines, and perhaps brand new mines.

Reavis Ranch
Elisha Reavis settled by the only year round flowing stream in the Superstition Range and grew vegetable to sell to miners and settlers at Florence. He died in 1896 and is buried just off the Arizona Trail to the south of the ranch. Jack Fraser and Twain Clemens later operated the ranch, but today it is part of the national forest. Apple trees on the ranch still grow excellent, sweet apples today.

Short Horned Lizard

Sunday, April 7th, 2013
I met AZT thruhiker Tessa from New Zealand and two others. Tessa and I discussed many long distance trails, and she may hike the Oregon Coast Trail after the AZT. She recommended the Lycian Way along the coast of Turkey as being a nice 2-3 week 500k walk with Greek, Roman, and other ruins to explore. One can camp along the way. A woman has written a guide book for this and for another hike in the highlands of Turkey. I saw two White Tail Deer and three Short Horned Lizards Phrynosoma douglassi. Two were together, perhaps mating. I've seen many other lizards on this trip, but they've been too skittish to photograph or even identify.

Rogers Canyon Cliff Dwelling
About 600 years ago, the Salado Indians built and occupied these dwellings. They are particularly interesting today because the mud and stick roof is intact, and one can see the layers of various materials.

Monday, April 8th, 2013
I saw a Gopher Snake Pituophis catenifer, and revisited the Rogers Canyon Cliff Dwellings. My right boot started to fail in the toe. The hole didn't quite go through to the inside of the boot, but I decided another week of very rough Superstion Range hiking was ill advised. I terminated my hike west to Mesa and returned to the AZT. I'll take it easy until I leave the trail Saturday. Cold, gusty winds blew all day, and storm clouds were accumulating.

Rain and hail started after sundown last night and continued through mid morning. From Reavis Canyon Trail I followed North Happy Camp Canyon Road FR650, East Happy Camp Road 8, Silver King Mine Road 229, and US60 into Superior. Off 229 I watched the workings of the Perlite mill. This route cut highway shoulder walking down to about a mile. In dusty or weekend conditions, though, ATV traffic on these dirt roads might make this route undesirable. Near town one can walk off US60 on side tracks, sidewalks, and parking lots. I saw a male Northern Cardinal Cardinalis cardinalis. I met Trekker, now hiking with two partners from Oracle to Utah. I had briefly hiked with Trekker and Loon while in northern New Mexico on the CDT in 2011. I also met a couple I had just met in the Mazatzal Range, who were just finishing up a section hike of the AZT. Congratulations!!!

Perlite
Perlite is volcanic glass with a high content of water. When heated to 850–900°C, it expands into a glass foam 7–16 times its original volume. The expanded foam is brilliant white due to the clear glass and many small bubbles. It is this expanded Perlite that is commercially valuable. The United States produces about 400,000 metric tons per year. 53% is added to building and construction products, 14% is used as fillers in concrete and other cement products, 14% is sold as horticultural aggregate, and 8% is used in sandbed filters, with the remainder going to various other uses.

Legends of Superior Trail
At the Hewitt Trailhead north of US60 one can use the Legends of Superior Trail to access the resupply town of Superior from the Arizona Trail. The LOST winds east, then crosses to the south of US60 west of Superior's airstrip. Here, the former frontier mining town of Pinal lies, with some ruins still present. The trail runs south of the airstrip east back to US60. I found an interpretive pdf brochure with paragraphs for numbered stops online for the preceding segment. Following is the text of a description I found on a kiosk in Superior of the trail as it continues east into town, and further to the highway tunnel east of town which was built after WWI but eventually replaced.

Legends of Superior Trail Description from Kiosk at Superior Tourist Information Center
The Legends of Superior Trail, commonly known as the LOST Trail, is a Gateway Trail from the Arizona Trail to the Town of Superior. It extends 4.6 miles from where it meets the Arizona Trail on Hewitt Station Road (.2 mile north of Highway 60) to the Superior Airport. The second segment of the LOST extends 3 miles from the airport on the west side of town down Highway 60 to the Route 60 park/caboose information center, down historic Main Street Superior to the canyon trailhead at Magma and Heiner. The third segment, called the Queen Creek-Tunnel segment, runs 2 miles to the old highway tunnel, circa 1919-1952, also known as the Claypool Tunnel.

The LOST Trail is a partnership of the Town of Superior, the Resolution Copper Company, and the Tonto National Forest. It was planned as a Gateway Trail for 15-20 years and the first segment was dedicated in the winter of 2011. The LOST Trail is composed of three segments from the trailhead with the Arizona Trail on Hewitt Station Road to the terminus of the old Claypool Tunnel on Highway 60.

First Segment: Trailhead to Airport (4.6 miles)
To reach the kiosk and parking lot on Hewitt Station Road, coming east on Highway 60, make a left turn on Hewitt Station Road (Forest Service Road 357) and drive .2 miles west. The trailhead is on your right and there's plenty of parking for cars and horse trailers.

This is a 4.6 mile segment that will take you to the Superior Airport. On the first 2.6 miles you will walk trail and dirt roads on the north side of Highway 60 past the Boyce Thompson Arboretum and see adjacent tracks of the old Magma Railroad. Many prickly pear and buckhorn cholla are on the trail and there are great views southward of Picket Post Mountain.

At 2.6 miles, you will walk under Highway 60. A quarter mile on, you will see a sign for Wagon Wheel Tracks. These were ruts imbedded in the stone from the route the Silver King mule trains made bringing silver ore down to Pinal City to be smelted. The next two mile take you south towards Queen Creek and the remains of Pinal City, a silver mining town that flourished 130+ years ago. In 1883, Pinal City smelted 50 tons of silver ore per day. You can see some of the stone walls of the old buildings that used to be here. You'll walk back up to meet up with the next segment of the trail at the Superior Municipal Airport.

Segment Two: Downtown Superior, Airport to Canyon Segment (3 miles)
This segment takes you adjacent to Highway 60 for 2 miles to the rest stop at the Los Hermanos Restaurant. There you cross Highway 60 and can obtain more information at the Visitor Center Caboose, staffed by the Superior Chamber of Commerce. Walk through the Highway 60 park behind the basketball courts to Bridge Street and continue north for two blocks. You will cross over a footbridge on Queen Creek and re-emerge on Main Street. Continue east for five blocks through the historic center of Superior, a copper mining town from 1882 that supplanted the ghost town of Pinal City. Superior has some great history from its fame as the Magma Copper Mine mining town to the demise of the mine in the 1980s and its re-emergence in the twenty-first century as a tourist destination and future copper center for the Resolution Copper Company. There are a history museum, open on Fridays and Saturdays, places to eat, and drink, a supermarket and several gift shops and sundries on Main Street. The 'old' Magma Hotel anchoring the east end of Main Street is working to re-open in 2013. Keep your senses open to ghosts! This is a good town for it.

When you get to Magma and Main, just turn to the south of the courthouse and the imposing Apache Leap to the east, turn right and continue for roughly a block crossing the highway bridge at Queen Creek. On your left you will enter the last segment.

Segment Three: Queen Creek Trail, Superior to the Claypool Tunnel (2 miles)
This is a two mile long trail, including a couple of steep grades, but also some gorgeous views from both the canyon looking up to the tunnel portion and at the tunnel looking down. It comprises the 'old' highway opened just after WWI to connect Superior with Globe and other mining communities. You are trekking on the old highway for the majority of the trail. The old cement bridge is .6 miles from the trailhead and then you will cross under the 'new' Highway 60 bridge, still following the creek. At 1.3 mile you pass Arizona Water Company's storage tank and start trekking uphill. Just a few hundred yards from the tank, look to your right at some of the rocks under the mesquites and carved into them are the dates and ID numbers of the prisoners who built this road during WWI. Once you catch your breath at the top of the hill, you'll be just under the new Highway 60 and have some great views to the south and west of Queen Creek Canyon. Continue on for another mile to the old Claypool Tunnel. It was opened in 1919 and closed in 1951 and saw its share of many tragic accidents in its thirty year history. It's also been used in a few movie scenes, noteably Clint Eastwood's The Gauntlet. The Resolution Copper Company has plans to turn the old tunnel into a bat habitat. The eastern end will be sealed shut and one will be able to watch the bats emerge and feed at dusk on the western end.

This concludes the LOST Trail. Isn't it a treasure?!

Silver King Mine
The Silver King Mine produced $42 million worth of silver ore between 1875 and 1900, but is currently inactive. It was the richest silver mine in Arizona, and is located about 3 miles north of present day Superior, Arizona, at Section 24, T1S, R12E. In 1870, during the Apache Wars, soldiers constructing roads noticed some heavy black rocks which flattened when pounded. By 1875 the mine was shipping ore to San Francisco for processing. Shortly thereafter, a smelting operation was set up several miles from the mine along Arnett Creek. A mining camp, which grew into Pinal City, quickly formed at the processing site. The operations continued until 1888, when deteriorating ore quality and lower silver prices prompted the mine to close. Small scale mining occasionally recurred through the present day. The mineralization consisted of veinlets in quartz diorite porphyry and Pinal Schist. The orebody cropped out at the top of a little hill about 75 feet high, composed of heavily-altered yellowish-brown to greenish-gray porphyry. Stromeyerite and highly argentiferous tetrahedrite with some acanthite were the most important ore minerals in the upper levels, and argentiferous sphalerite had become the principal ore mineral in the lower levels of the mine.

Off US60 Route from Superior to AZT Southbound
One can follow South Belmont Avenue south from US60 to Sunset Drive. Other streets don't necessarily go through at a gully which passes through town. Belmont is a block west of the motel. Then following Sunset Drive west to Fairview Cemetery, and turning right onto Mary Drive and continuing west to the end of the cemetery, one would turn south onto Golf Course Drive, also known as Telegraph Canyon Road and FR220, and follow it south. Where FR220 intersects FR4 turn right to continue on Telegraph Canyon Road to Trough Springs and the Arizona Trail. At an easy pace, I walked this in about 3½ hours.

Prickly Pear New Growth

Friday, April 12th, 2013
I climbed Picketpost Mountain. The views were great: west to Phoenix, east overlooking Superior, tracing the AZT north and south, and the hills all around. On top there is a wrought iron garden bench to relax on, plus a red mailbox with ten years of logs plus some cool extras like a nice pocketknife, a corkscrew, and a Gumbi Blockhead doll. I left them all, so scramble up and get what you want. The mail box itself had quite a history too (below). Area plants included Cholla, Prickly Pear, Saguaro, Barrel Cacti, Ocotillo, and Chia. Cholla and Prickly Pear were particularly interesting because new growth buds start as little floret shaped things and morph into their typical shapes. A couple of hikers gave me a ride to Mesa.

New Growth on Cholla Cactus

Saturday, April 13th, 2013
Dan and Lynne took me to Phoenix's Desert Botanical Gardens. The Garden's cacti collection is very extensive and there was a butterfly exhibit. I stayed at Dan and Lynne's place. Many thanks!!! Dan said the Bryce Thompson Arboretum State Park near Superior is also excellent, so perhaps I'll visit that on some future Arizona Trail or GET hike. It is a 323-acre botanical garden with a 1.5-mile walking trail.

Global Positioning System, GPS
In 2011, on New Mexico's CDT section, I began to collect GPS latitudes and longitudes. Existing data sets for trails often did not include meaningful names (just sequential numbers from points taken automatically and periodically). Also, it was not easy to know if data were taken from maps, and were therefore inaccurate as to position, or carefully taken in the field. So I carefully took positions in the field, holding my Garmin Oregon 450t directly over the point and letting the device settle to its best accuracy, often estimated by the GPS at as little as 11 feet. I then named each point so it could be related to maps and guidebooks. This best matches how I like to use GPS: I see on the map where I would like to go, find the name among the GPS waypoints, and obtain the vector from the GPS.

This is the first trail I've repeated since this project began. I copied the points from the table on my website, and pasted them into Excel. Then I converted them to a csv file, and imported them into GPSBabel. I was not successful in loading the resulting poi files, but this method worked for loading gpx xml files and navigating with my Garmin Oregon 450t. However, the gpx file had each point name loaded in 3 different fields, it did not load my comments, and I was not able to load my symbol system (blue for water, red for non-water, dots on trail, boxes off trail).

Next I created a gpx file using Excel with no specialized GPS program. I loaded my table into the spreadsheet, and inserted columns with the required gpx xml tags. I found that if I then copied the text into Notepad, the tabs which Excel had added between columns were not compatible with my Garmin Oregon 450t, so I added a column which concatenated the text in each data column, and copied and pasted that column into Notepad. That method worked. I also found that my Garmin Oregon 450t crashed if the header data was eliminated. The following is an example that works:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>

The header and footer are critical to function. The <wpt module can be repeated for as many points as required. The <cmt> module is optional. The <sym>Navaid, Blue</sym> module specifies the appearance of the point on the GPS screen, and I use the following system:

<sym>Navaid, Blue</sym> Dot means on main trail. Blue means water source.
<sym>Navaid, Red</sym> Dot means on main trail. Red means no water nearby.
<sym>Block, Blue</sym> Block means off main trail. Blue means water source.

Name Latitude Longitude Comment On Arizona Trail? Water Source?

About These Locations
I took these locations with a Garmin 450T during my throughhike. I held the device right over the location and let the GPS settle to its best accuracy before taking the points. In open areas, they are often accurate to 11 feet. In deep canyons, accuracy may be as poor as 60-70 feet.

Water
Water I found may have dried up, and there are more water sources than I have shown. Some water is absolutely disgusting; some is excellent. Treat all water for germs before drinking it. Carry enough water to get to a sure source.

Location Names
Most locations I took ought to be on maps or in guidebooks hikers would use. + means an intersection of travel routes, such as trails, roads, pipelines, powerlines, etcetera. AZT means the point is right on the Arizona National Scenic Trail. If a point name does not include AZT it may be an off trail location of interest to hikers, like a water source, viewpoint, etcetera.

Display Symbols
I used blue symbols for water sources, and red for non-water locations. I used circles for on trail locations and cubes for off trail locations. By using these conventions, it was easy to look at the map display of my GPS and understand the significance of each location shown.

Warnings
GPS is at best a toy. Since batteries die and electronics fail, never rely on a GPS. If you don't know how to use a GPS, it's no more useful than a brick. Each model of GPS operates differently, so other hikers probably will not be able to help you. Learn how to use every function you're likely to need. GPS is always somewhat inaccurate for a variety of reasons. You will still have to look for your target when the GPS says you've arrived. Routes change and water sources dry up. So even though I found something at the above locations, you may not.
