The master, no way...

But if I wouldn't have killed two cones I could have been a contender ☺

10-seconds a cone was a stiff penalty! :)

................Aren't the Catalina's the site of that crashed B-17? Navigator had them south of the peak in the dark and they hit it nearly blind.


I believe there is a crash site on the back side of the Catalina mountains. I have not hiked to it but I have heard there are still pieces up there.

Took a few dried potatoes and onions, some parched corn, dried /smoked meat, salt, coffee, and BV, everything else we found up there for supper's.
A few bear berries, rose hip teas for warmers,

Used two mil ponchos ended up being way to big, was trying to find the "just right size" of some either duck or russia cloth canvas to make my mountain shelter out of. Decided that 9x9 will be perfect for size, pack rolling, and weight. Ordered the matierials this am. too bad wont be sewn and ready for this coming weekend,,,

Sunrise at the start of Buffelspoort, a canyon that was the scene of a tragic flood in 1981 when a whole town was washed away. The first pic is looking away from the "Poort". The hills in the distance were the site of a battle during the Anglo-Boer war. There are some derelict building there.

The Boers secretly came up the "Poort" to attack Laingsburg (the town that was later flooded). It wasn't common knowledge at the time that the "Poort" was passable. They camped at the buildings at the hill up ahead. The British got wind of this and laid an ambush during the night.

Pic 3 is the evening sleep over before tackling the trail. We had driven through a snow storm to get there but the skies were clear at the campsite. Minus 6 degrees celcius. Note the coals under the camp chairs.
