In the morn, they headed up to CK (where another newer X broke, you guessed it, a front axle). I've seen and done CK so... I decided to roam around on my own. Saw a trail I've never taken before and took it. It took me down into Humbug Creek.
It was a meat little slot canyon that deserved a hike, so I explored a little. I had my mother's Newfoundland with me and since she was too big to hike down, she made sure I was ok by pacing me from above. Eventually she lost sight of me on the undercuts but to my surpirse and liking she went all the way back to the X and waited by the door.
I continued driving along the trail and pretty much the only other vehicles I saw was two buggys and a quad. My GPS told me I could follow the trail all the way to the Agua Fria and probably exit through Table Mesa. It took a while and the trail was tougher than I had expected, but I finally made it with the rear only tottering 4-5 times (sadly no pics of those spots).
(Nothing too special photowise, just wanted to show the area)
