None of us had hiked this loop in years. The
time I remember, this wash was an easy hike,
mostly on gravel. We soon encountered change
terrain from past flooding. We came to a narrow
passage between some house size rocks.
Hmm.....the drop off looked about 12 ft to me. W

Not something we were coming back up. At le
not easily. The packs were transferred down.
We were to encounter 3 more places that the
flooding had drastically changed the trail. All h
to be maneuvered in some method. Either rock
scrambling or in one case we had to climb up an
around since the drop was too high.
Along the way we commented, the trail down
the Grand Canyon can't be this bad.
It was a great hike, and even better condition
We eventually came to the east side of Kraft M
tain. We followed the trail up out of the wash an

that was now winding it's way south and off to
left. We wound through a level area strewn with
huge rocks that presumably rolled down off Kra
Mountain. Many of these rocks the size of hous

We passed through the field of giant stones.

Havasupai Falls Conditioning Hike.
Saturday 3/6/2010 the couple of us from LasVegas going on the Havasupai backpack trip thiscoming April, did another "conditioning hike"with full backpacks at 30 lbs of weight.
For this weeks prep trip we decided on the KraftMountain loop. This is an area west of Las Vegas.Just east of the Red Rock Park13 mile loop area.Instead of entering the paid area of Red Rock wetook another road into the Calico Springs area. Anarea with a small community of private homes, aswell as another section of Red Rock Park known
as the Board Walk Trail, at Red Springs.
We tightened up our straps, threw the packs onand headed out due west. It was a cool day, in theow 50's, mostly overcast. This hike to be about
4.5 miles.
With our packs we knew it wouldn't be a walkin the park. We stopped several times. Our T-shirts started taking on some sweat so the stopshad to be short to avoid taking on a chill from thecool 50 degree air.
Near the summit we looked off to the east andcould just barley catch a glimpse of the tops of afew of the larger buildings back in Las Vegas. Wetook a short break and some water, then droppeddown over the north slope to the wash below.
We headed from the road west to the base of thered sandstone cliffs (Keystone Thrust Fault) jut-ting up from the desert floor. We immediatelydropped in a rocky wash (Desert stream bed nor-mally dry) and was delighted to find running wa-ter. We continued due west a short distance andpicked up the trail we wanted. At this trail inter-section we veered north.
After about a mile of skirting the residentialarea we once again dropped into the same wash,but further up stream from our previous point. Wecrossed over at an area of steep washed out banks.
Though at this time the water was only 2 feetwide. We enjoyed a gurgling small waterfall thatcascaded over a huge chunk of red sandstone. Thewater clear enough to invite drinking if you didn'thave to worry about parasites and those othernasty little things.
Following the trail up out of the wash westarted a rather steep climb of about 1 mile thatwould take us over a "pass" or "saddle" betweentwo peaks. This trail would pass the west side ofKraft Mountain in into yet another wash. This newwash would then swing us around the backside,
and the east side of Kraft Mountain.
Saddle
Trail
N
Kraft Mtn
Elevation gain to summit the saddle is around1000ft. It was definitely a workout. We saw otherswith no packs, stopping along the way to take
breathers.
We snaked down a trail that took us througha sandstone slot of white, pink and red strippedcolors. The slot cut through the stone by waterover perhaps millions of years? It had created
beautiful ribbons of color that curved around
corner after corner until we reached the washbelow. A slight trickle of water flowed evennow. That water fell into the gravel wash, in-stantly disappearing from sight. From severalfeet away, no trace of water was even remotely
visible.
We were now in the 2nd wash. We took a right
turn and headed east. This wash was wide in
places. Narrow at some. Huge rocks and steep
walls. As we hiked we saw evidence of past
flooding. Debris and dead vegetation hung up on
rocks high above our heads. Indications every-
where the water had come gushing through here
25 to 30 feet deep. These washes are no place to
be when there is a chance of rain. Water comesso fast it may be impossible to get out quickly
enough. Death is the outcome for some.
We eventually made it back to the vehicle and s
our packs. We sat back and enjoyed a bottle of
water and the beautiful area surrounding us.
We can hardly wait to see the Grand Canyon

FOUNTAIN HILLS GREAT FAIR
Scottsdale, Arizona February 26th, 2010
Now in its 23rd year, this three day fair attracts
nearly 500 artists and over 200,000 visitors.
Be sure to mark your calendars for the November
Fair November 12,13,14, 2010
Official sponsor of the fair is the Fountain Hills
Chamber of Commerce.
TOPOGEAR stumbled into Dave Bruce and hiscreations Weathered Wonders at the Fountain
Hills Art Fair. (Fountain Hills, AZ).We were immediately drawn to the odd shaped,
colorful birdhouses displayed within his booth.His unique use of raw materials showed quite theimagination. Dave uses recycled material, perhapsgoing green before the word became the catch
phrase that it is today.
Attached to his whimsical creations you willfind a perch made from a faucet, a silver pie
server, a fork, the list is endless.
Dave was a warm person, easy to talk with. Wepaused to enjoy his booth. Before we moved on tothe other booths Dave shared some of his life
story.
As odd as his creations, Dave found it odd hissource of material was drying up. It seems thedownturn in the economy and the lull in the home
building market, is creating less buildings beingdemolished. In the past older properties with oldfences being upgraded for resale created an abun-dant source for his raw material...old weathered
wood.

WEATHERED WONDERS
The main streets were closed off to traffic and10x10 white tent canopied booths lined both sides.
You could find anything from Kettle Corn, to FineArt, and great music.
We hit the fair as soon as some Artists startedopening. We were glad we did. Later in the daythe crowd became rather dense making it difficultto even view the booths on the opposite side of the
walkways.
We enjoyed art and jewelry made from oldsilverware, artists working in glass, metals, stoneand numerous other materials. One of the jewelrybooths interested us. Custom designed silver jew-elry from designers working with silversmiths ofTaxco, Mexico. Their trade handed down through
generations.
We drifted by Photographers. Many movingtheir art from paper onto metal and other medi-ums. Artists working in the strangest of materials.Another selling magnetic bookmarkers. The
bookmarker booth was swamped with buyers.
When you tired there were plenty of foodbooths to stop, taste and rest up for more walking.The lake off to the east and just down a small hillfrom the fair added to the whole effect. On thehour the Fountainwould shoot its column of waterhigh into the air. The fountain capable of shoot-ng water 560 feet into the air. This would last for
15 minutes. The lake is surrounded with a golfcourse looking manicure of green grass.
The homes across the water blending perfectlyinto the hillside terrain. Nearly invisible, backdropped in the far distance with beautiful snow
capped mountain tops.
It is hard to imagine Fountain Hill exists withinthe Sonoran Desert of Arizona. Shade tree aroundthe lake offer a perfect picnic place. Ducks paddle
about with a happy quack, perfectly content.
We were reluctant to pack our things and headfor home. Planning on returning for the Novem-
ber Fair.

The water was clear to slightly cloudy. Thbest results came on red-orange floating pow
bait. Also on worms. Both rigged so the baiwould float 2 to 3 feet above the weight. Thurigged the bait was just above the weeds on t
bottom. The trout caught had all been eating
small snails.
The early morning temperature was 19 de-

There is probably another week or two be
spawn starts and catching trout slows.
