    Under the Auspices of Taurus warbonnet bushwacked.

    The old cast and crew strapped on and went about our high altitude shenanigans. We scaled the grades. We did our thang. The ancient forest was all around us. We were close together. We camped at a spot we found which must’ve had 1000 waterfalls. Can you believe it? Watch the video. Now. There used to be a hotel at the trailhead which claimed to have healing powers from the mineral springs. Iron mike is a famous mineral spring which the forest service actually encouraged you to drink from. The iron content was too high for me to a drink that day. Although I drank from many springs within the wilderness boundaries.

    John Boy Benson, wow you managed to capture so much beauty in that seven n half. It's cool to think we have hiked alot of good walks and some nice campouts in these areas. Makes me thirst for more , to drink that fresh , cool air in again. Speaking of drinking...did that double shot make it's way in the creek? I'm looking forward to watching more video and more answerz , perhaps even more questions. Still no sasquatch sightings to report even though we got it all. Some things are better left unseen by many eyes. Thanks for sharing a little look see of the video . I don't need to see it dottie... I lived it.

    Love the photos you included in the post. You're making the woods look soooo inviting. Nicely done.

    Another nice trip report and video, Benson.

    You make those woods come alive with the great footage and angles. You make those videos come alive with your shenanigans.

    I feel like you are channeling an old native spirit that smoked some peace pipe and went on a spirit journey.

    I still can't quit laughing about the "Red hot,red hot, red hot" in the last video.

    Yes Mucho, the map needs to be fingered. Yes some things must remain un-seen, this is true. Yes, we must trim our nails and prepare for: once again (one way or a tuther.)

    Well, I didn't not smoke any "peace pipe" but I did put Brian's Hebrew Weiner in my mouth. See, he brought one extra and and I shared my bean and cheese tortilla, and have gave me his extra Weiner. Thank you for the kind words.

    Did Capt'n Beefheart write the title for this report?
