Such a lucky day! This is the view from the top of the trail where naked ground merges with many other trails that meander throughout Slickrock Wilderness. This was my fouth time up there and I have never seen it so clear!
Two things of interest happened:
1. Some of the signs have been removed from the Naked Ground trail when entering from Joyce Kilmer Forest. This had me confused for a bit and if you have never been on the trail it would not be easy to find now.
2.I saw a man that looked lost, off the trail, holding a GPS. Upon asking if he was lost, he said that "No. He was just doing Geo-Caching". He explained to me further that there is a website (www.geocaching.com) that has a list of GPS coordinates that people have hidden stuff in and you can just type in a zipcode grab your GPS and find it. The hiker said he likes the treasure hunt aspect of it and I think it is well worth trying at least to make you daily routine and walks seem more interesting. I live in a small city (I can walk it in a an hour) and there is plenty of people who already have hidden stuff just in my area, so this should be fun.
