Yuha Mtns 2/27/2023
Nice sunny morning between rain and snow storm days.
Our first warmup hill in Yuha Mountains.
The ‘new’ paved border fence road.
Off the road and into canyon.
Starting with some fun dry waterfalls.
Chuck above.
This looks more serious.
We have to bypass that waterfall.
Interesting rocks.
Another big one.
There is a way over but is somewhat involved.
We separated into groups B going above, B+ us in the canyon and group A Maurice and John A. running ahead.
Several pools that we have to be careful going by since there are lot of bees having drinking party in.
Just don’t fall in. Are they Africanized bees?
Most of us are back together for lunch.
Off the canyon.
On to 1193.
No register here.
Border fence.
High points of Yuha Mountains where a Border Marker 229 is and where Maurice and John A are going now.
Our groups B and B+.
Way down.
What is this flashing contraption?
After pressing the Red button I ordered Pizza Supreme with garlic sauce. It will be delivered in 15 minutes it said.
After pizza we entered some slot canyons.
Minor obstacles.
Richard and Hersch dropped into this. Rest of us chickened out and went into another slot.
Back together with John’s group.
Almost back.
Another big party. Everybody is back!
