FR 10–Deer Tanks Trail; Goldfield Mountains, May 20, 2020 | GPS Map | ||||||||||
We started at first light, so we would be hiking in the coolest part of the day and we could finish before it got hot. Saw one hiker on the Deer Tanks Trail and a lot of people camped along Forest Road 10 between the trailhead and FR 1356. I was carrying my Canon G7X camera. It was on good behavior, as was my GPS. Thanks to my daughter Clara for going with me and taking great pictures! |
