Start – 8:59 AM, 31\u00b0F, 0.5 mile S of Silver City along USFS Road No. 251<\/em><\/p>\n

The more SPHP thought about it, the more it seemed like driving a little farther S would have been better.\u00a0 November now, and the first day back on Standard Time.\u00a0 Even though the clock said Lupe had gotten off to a reasonably early start, she actually had one less hour of daylight to look forward to than she would have had only yesterday at this hour.<\/p>\n

Consequently, maybe Loop wasn’t going to be able to get to all of her planned peakbagging objectives?\u00a0 Yeah, driving farther would have been more efficient.\u00a0 Besides, the road hike on USFS Road No. 251 was a bit dull.\u00a0 Luckily the valley widened out.\u00a0 Lupe was perfectly happy roaming some off-road flat ground next to a dry creekbed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Before long the American Dingo reached a junction with a side road marked No. 251.1K.\u00a0 This far up Nugget Gulch the creek had a little water in it.\u00a0 Lupe crossed No. 251.1K and continued upstream.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

More than 0.5 mile from the G6 was a more important intersection.\u00a0 USFS Road No. 251 continued S up East Nugget Gulch.\u00a0 Lupe made a R turn onto USFS Road No. 249 instead.\u00a0 As a more primitive road, No. 249 had a pleasant remote feel.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Starting up USFS Road No. 249. Photo looks SW.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

No. 249 winds its way W, then SW up the main part of Nugget Gulch.\u00a0 Lupe had hardly gotten started when she came to a ford.\u00a0 By the side of the road, right next to the creek, Lupe discovered a terribly interesting something or other.<\/p>\n

Looks like deer guts to me, Looper!\u00a0 Just leave ’em alone!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
What do you think of this, SPHP? Most intriguing, wouldn’t you say? Quite a find!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Oh, yes Loop! Simply lovely! Let’s, uh, keep going.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On the way up Nugget Gulch, No. 249 crossed the stream bed half a dozen times.\u00a0 The first two fords had enough water to persuade SPHP to utilize a few stepping stones.\u00a0 The rest of the crossings were bone dry.<\/p>\n

Nugget Gulch became narrower and deeper.\u00a0 The road hugged a hillside above the stream course.\u00a0\u00a0 SPHP stuck with the road, since it was easier than trying to stay down close to the intermittent stream.\u00a0 For the most part, Loop did, too.<\/p>\n

At one point the creek’s maximum flow was revealed where it went over exposed bedrock.\u00a0 Lupe left the road briefly for a closer look.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Why, this has got to be the prettiest spot in all of Nugget Gulch<\/strong>!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After nearly a mile on USFS Road No. 249, Lupe came to an intersection with No. 249.3B.\u00a0 Silver Peak<\/span><\/a> (5,810 ft.)<\/span><\/strong> was now 0.67 mile due N.\u00a0 The Carolina Dog left the main road, slipped around a closed metal barrier, and began following No. 249.3B up a valley.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

The road appeared to be permanently closed to vehicle traffic.\u00a0 Looper trotted along through tall, dry grass.\u00a0 No. 249.3B was the quickest, easiest way up Silver Peak.\u00a0 The road wound around a bit at first, but eventually straightened as it headed NNW.\u00a0 As Lupe got higher, small trees grew on the old roadbed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Higher up small trees were growing on the old roadbed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Near the upper end of the valley Lupe reached an area where the forest had sustained tremendous damage.\u00a0 Years ago, pine bark beetles had killed hundreds, perhaps thousands of trees.\u00a0 Deadfall timber littered the whole region.\u00a0 Many dead trees had fallen across No. 249.3B.\u00a0 The pace of advance slowed as negotiating the deadfall became an issue.<\/p>\n

The road faded, then disappeared.\u00a0 Lupe climbed N up a steep slope.\u00a0 SPHP followed, simply choosing whatever route avoided the deadfall as much as possible.\u00a0 So many trees had fallen that the remaining forest was comparatively open.\u00a0 The general layout of the terrain was easy to see.\u00a0 Silver Peak’s W ridge was only a little higher.<\/p>\n

Loop made it up onto the W ridge.\u00a0 She turned E toward Silver Peak.\u00a0 The going wasn’t any easier up here.\u00a0 The narrow ridgeline was clogged with deadfall, too.\u00a0 Fortunately, the summit wasn’t much farther.<\/p>\n

Oh, yeah?\u00a0 The top of the mountain wasn’t as close as SPHP thought.\u00a0 The first high point Lupe came to was a false summit.\u00a0 The true summit was now in sight, but so was another stretch of deadfall infested ridge.\u00a0 No matter.\u00a0 Puppy ho!<\/p>\n

Took longer than it should have, but the Carolina Dog made it to the top of Silver Peak<\/span><\/a> (5,810 ft.)<\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0 The difficulties she had encountered really hadn’t been a surprise – this was Loop’s 3rd ascent.\u00a0 Deadfall had been an issue each time.\u00a0 The passing years hadn’t improved the situation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Success! Lupe stands perched upon Silver Peak<\/strong>‘s summit cairn. Photo looks W.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After getting up on the summit cairn to claim another successful ascent of Silver Peak, Lupe laid down next to it.\u00a0 The cairn appeared little changed since the last time she had been here nearly 3 years ago.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Taking it easy on Silver Peak<\/strong>. This was Lupe’s 3rd ascent.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In a way, it didn’t seem fair.\u00a0 With all the damage sustained by the forest, Loopster ought to have enjoyed some nice clear views from Silver Peak.\u00a0 However, the summit area hadn’t been hit quite as hard by the pine bark beetles as some of the rest of the territory she had come through.\u00a0 Plenty of partial views and glimpses, but in every direction at least one or two trees still stood to mar the scenes.<\/p>\n

To the extent that there was one, the best view was toward Silver City and Peak<\/span> 5707<\/span><\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

It had been sunny earlier, but the sky had turned gray.\u00a0 The temperature was still in the low 40’s \u00b0F.\u00a0 A 10 mph SW breeze made it seem cooler than that.\u00a0 Lupe still had two peaks to go.\u00a0 15 minutes spent relaxing on Silver Peak was about the extent of it.\u00a0 Lupe and SPHP left to start picking a way back down the W ridge.<\/p>\n

The views were actually better from the W ridge.\u00a0 Before leaving it, Loop paused at a rocky high point.\u00a0 Far to the NNW Custer Peak<\/span><\/a> (6,804 ft.)<\/span><\/strong> sported a dusting of new snow.\u00a0 Black Elk Peak<\/span><\/a> (7,231 ft.)<\/span><\/strong> was on the horizon to the S.\u00a0 Lupe’s next peakbagging objective was much closer in the same direction.\u00a0 She could see a long ridge that would take her to Nugget Gulch Peak<\/span><\/a> (6,000 ft.)<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Lupe retraced her whole route back down USFS Road No. 249.3B.\u00a0 Upon reaching No. 249 again, she took it S, but only for 200 yards.\u00a0 Off to the L was a side road that led to a small clearing where a sign indicated this was USFS Road No. 675.1.\u00a0 At the far side of the clearing several stones blocked the road.<\/p>\n

Stones couldn’t stop Lupe.\u00a0 She went right on by, following No. 675.1 as it climbed a short distance E up onto a level spot where the road divided.\u00a0 Neither branch was marked, but going straight would have taken Looper into Middle Nugget Gulch.\u00a0 Instead, she took the fork to the R (S) that curved higher.\u00a0 After another short climb, this road leveled out and faded away in a forest that looked groomed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
After a couple of quick climbs, Lupe reaches a groomed forest. Photo looks SW.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ahead small pines grew where the road used to be.\u00a0 Lupe took this route SW until she got close to the next hill.\u00a0 A longer and considerably steeper climb up this hill ended as Loop emerged from the forest at the N end of a level field.\u00a0 From here the Carolina Dog had a good view back N toward Silver Peak.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Stones had been arranged to form a fire ring here.\u00a0 SPHP picked Lupe treasures out of a long extinguished campfire.\u00a0 The field continued 100 yards S past a few young pines to another unidentified road.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The grassy level field extended 100 yards S to another road. Lupe would follow this road R along the side of the forested high ground seen ahead. Photo looks SSW.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

By now it was clear that Lupe had succeeded in getting up onto the N end of the ridge leading S to Nugget Gulch Peak.\u00a0 However, the summit was still out of sight more than a mile away.\u00a0 Since the unidentified road was going in roughly the right direction, Lupe followed it SW.\u00a0 The road gained elevation slowly staying 50 to 75 feet below the ridgeline.<\/p>\n

After 0.2 mile, Loop arrived at a junction.\u00a0 A marker indicated she had been following ATV Trail No. 6803.\u00a0 She had just reached No. 6800.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Loop on ATV Trail No. 6803. The junction with No. 6800 is dead ahead. Photo looks SSW.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lupe could go E or W on ATV Trail No. 6800.\u00a0 Without a clue as to which choice was better, SPHP led her E.\u00a0 No. 6800 climbed up to a minor pass, then turned S.\u00a0 The road now began to lose elevation.\u00a0 Lupe followed it a little farther.\u00a0 Up ahead she could see a line on a hillside indicating the presence of a higher road.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
On ATV Trail No. 6800. A higher road is on the hillside ahead. Lupe left No. 6800 near here to climb up to a saddle off to the R. Photo looks S.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Losing elevation was the wrong thing to do.\u00a0 Lupe left No. 6800.\u00a0 She climbed toward a saddle she could see ahead on the R.\u00a0 Upon arrival, Lupe found the saddle was mostly grassland.\u00a0 Another road was right over the crest on the other (W) side.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Lupe arrives up on the grassy saddle to discover another road on the other side. Photo looks SE.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

An 80 foot high hill sat immediately NW of the saddle.\u00a0 This hill was in the wrong direction, but from below it looked like the top might be open enough to be able to get some views.\u00a0 Since it wouldn’t take long to check out, Lupe and SPHP climbed the hill.\u00a0 There were views, but none that were particularly helpful.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Looking S from the top of the 80 foot hill. The views from here weren’t really helpful. Lupe needed to get over to the hill on the R, but she already knew that.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The American Dingo returned to the saddle.\u00a0 She went down to the road W of the crest, and followed it 150 feet to a junction with the road she had detected the presence of earlier.<\/p>\n

The road W of the crest went downhill from here.\u00a0 So Lupe tried the side road going E.\u00a0 The side road soon curved S.\u00a0 Looked like it wasn’t going to gain any elevation either.\u00a0 Hmm.<\/p>\n

No choice.\u00a0 Lupe abandoned all roads and started climbing.\u00a0 She worked her way S up a steep hillside.\u00a0 The hill was rocky near the top.\u00a0 Once she was up, Loop found herself on a fairly narrow ridge.\u00a0 This ridge would inevitably bring her to Nugget Gulch Peak, if followed far enough S.\u00a0 Still no sign of the summit yet, though.<\/p>\n

Lupe and SPHP struck out along the ridge.\u00a0 Most of it was forested.\u00a0 Some parts were a slow-going jumble of rock and deadfall.\u00a0 Loop pressed on climbing from one slightly higher point to the next.\u00a0 Rinse and repeat.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Following the ridge S. Photo looks S.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Time was slipping away.\u00a0 Occasionally Looper caught glimpses of what was ahead.\u00a0 After a while, SPHP became convinced the next high point she was coming to was either the summit of Nugget Gulch Peak, or High Point 5953<\/strong>, if she hadn’t gone over it already.<\/p>\n

When Lupe got there, she discovered a patch of open ground offering views to the S and SW.\u00a0 A higher point was to the S.\u00a0 Surely that must be Nugget Gulch Peak?\u00a0 SPHP would have bet money that Lupe was now at High Point 5953<\/strong>.\u00a0 Woulda won, too!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
So here we are at High Point 5953<\/strong>! Not a bad view, but looks like weather might be on the way.<\/em> Photo looks SW.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

15 minute break.\u00a0 SPHP wanted to check the map.\u00a0 Lupe didn’t mind, she was ready for water and Taste of the Wild.<\/p>\n

Still 0.25 mile to Nugget Gulch Peak.\u00a0 The sky had been cloudy for hours.\u00a0 Colder now.\u00a0 Looked like rain or snow showers to the SW, but a long way off.\u00a0 Looper and SPHP sat huddled together watching.\u00a0 Seemed like the showers were coming this way.<\/p>\n

A shot rang out, spooking the American Dingo.\u00a0 A hunter!\u00a0 Not far away either.\u00a0 After waiting a few minutes to see if anyone would appear, Loop and SPHP stole away from High Point 5953.<\/p>\n

Looking back from halfway to Nugget Gulch Peak, someone in a bright orange cap was standing on High Point 5953.\u00a0 SPHP waved.\u00a0 Whoever it was waved back.\u00a0 Lupe pressed on.\u00a0 Hunters and their guns scare her.<\/p>\n

Lupe reached Nugget Gulch Peak<\/span><\/a> (6,000 ft.)<\/span><\/strong> as tiny snowflakes began sailing by.\u00a0 They never amounted to much, but along with the brooding sky and cold breeze contributed to a sense of isolation.\u00a0 It felt late in the day, late in the season.\u00a0 Winter was coming.\u00a0 Not quite yet, but soon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Lupe reaches the summit of Nugget Gulch Peak<\/strong>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The absolute summit was treeless, featuring a few medium-sized rocks among thorny bushes.\u00a0 Lupe had been here once before, years ago, but SPHP couldn’t remember exactly when.\u00a0 Although trees grew N of the summit, the S slope was grass and stones.<\/p>\n

From the summit rocks, Lupe could see a long way in most directions.<\/p>\n

Peak 6043<\/strong> (L) was Lupe’s next objective. Old Bald Peak<\/strong> is on the R. Black Elk Peak<\/strong> (Center) on the far horizon. Photo looks S.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It really wasn’t all that late in the day, but with this weather it would get dark mighty early.\u00a0 On a clear, bright day the Carolina Dog might have continued on.\u00a0 SPHP thought about it, but decided Silver Peak had chewed up too much time.\u00a0 Best to head back to the G6.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
What’s the verdict, SPHP?<\/em> Lupe next to the summit rocks on Nugget Gulch Peak<\/strong> with more snow showers on the way. Photo looks SW.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Guess this is it folks! We’re going to have to save Peak 6043 (L) behind me for another time. Sorry ’bout that!<\/em> Photo looks S.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

15 or 20 minutes on Nugget Gulch Peak, then it was time to call it a day.\u00a0 Lupe lingered another couple of minutes at the summit before joining SPHP heading down the S slope.\u00a0 At the first minor high point, Loopster paused briefly for a final look around before ducking under a fence and heading W down a long grassy slope.<\/p>\n

Lupe reached USFS Road No. 249 again near Pass 5606<\/strong>.\u00a0 She was 2 miles farther S than where she had left it hours ago.\u00a0 It was several degrees warmer down here than Nugget Gulch Peak had been.\u00a0 A light rain fell.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Lupe reaches Pass 5606<\/strong> along USFS Road No. 249. Photo looks NNW.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Close to 4 miles back to the G6 from here.\u00a0 The plan was to follow No. 249 all the way back to No. 251, but when Lupe came to a side road on the R and saw that it was ATV Trail No. 6800 again, she took it instead.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Exploring another section of ATV Trail No. 6800 late in the day. Photo looks NNE.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

No. 6800 stayed higher than USFS Road No. 249.\u00a0 In fact, Lupe was gaining elevation.\u00a0 As SPHP suspected, she eventually arrived at the grassy saddle SE of the 80 foot hill.\u00a0 So that mystery was solved.\u00a0 Clearly the road was going to loop all the way around the W side of the 80 foot hill back to the junction with ATV Trail No. 6803.<\/p>\n

Taking No. 6803 became the new plan, but shortly before Loop got that far another ATV trail split off heading N.\u00a0 Hmm.\u00a0 Lupe took this side road, but it dead-ended.\u00a0 In fading light Loop and SPHP descended a steep, mostly open slope to the W.\u00a0 At the bottom was No. 249 again.<\/p>\n

No more adventures!\u00a0 Still 3 miles to go.\u00a0 Stick with the known road!<\/p>\n

The light rain never quit.\u00a0 A black night fell.\u00a0 Cold and soaking wet, Lupe trudged at SPHP’s heels.\u00a0 Every step homeward bound.\u00a0 (6:09 PM, 37\u00b0F)<\/em><\/p>\n
