11:02 AM, 53\u00baF, Rapid Creek trailhead of Centennial Trail No. 89<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/em> –<\/p>\n

Hurry up, SPHP!\u00a0 It’s a gorgeous day!<\/em><\/p>\n

That’s why we’re here, Looper.\u00a0 Last nice day before your birthday.<\/em><\/p>\n

My birthday is coming?\u00a0 When?<\/em><\/p>\n

In only 3 more days, Loop.\u00a0 Supposed to be a snowstorm, though, so we won’t be doing anything in the Black Hills then.\u00a0 Today will have to suffice as your birthday adventure served up a bit early, I’m afraid.<\/em><\/p>\n

Better late than never, SPHP!\u00a0 And better early than late!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

As soon as SPHP was ready, Lupe set out on Centennial Trail No. 89, which began flat as a pancake running SE parallel to Rapid Creek, but a little way from it.\u00a0 At first, tall dry grass and bushes hid the stream, but 5 minutes was all it took to reach a bridge.<\/p>\n

After crossing the spiffy bridge over Rapid Creek, even more bushes lined the trail, which still bore a skiff of snow along in here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Beyond the bridge. Peak 5040<\/span><\/strong> (R). Photo looks ESE.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

5 minutes from the first bridge, a second one appeared.\u00a0 After crossing it, too, the Tamarack trailhead was only a short distance farther.\u00a0 From the trailhead, Centennial Trail No. 89 ran E along a barbed wire fence for a little way.\u00a0 After passing an old cabin to the S, the trail went through the fence, then turned SE again.\u00a0 A steady climb through pine forest ensued.<\/p>\n

After gaining 120 feet of elevation, Centennial Trail No. 89 leveled out at a small clearing where there was a junction with USFS Road No. 165.1A.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Taking the road ENE (L), it almost immediately curved S, and began a steady descent.\u00a0 Another road junction was soon in sight.\u00a0 Toward the R, Centennial Trail No. 89 continued S, following USFS Road No. 165.1D up Tamarack Gulch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Approaching the next junction. USFS Road No. 165.1D and Centennial Trail No. 89 go R. No. 165.1A veers off to the L. Photo looks S.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Don’t go that way, Loop!\u00a0 Go L instead.<\/em><\/p>\n

We’re leaving Centennial Trail No. 89, SPHP?\u00a0 Where are we off to then?<\/em><\/p>\n

Thought it might be fun to climb Thrall Mountain<\/span><\/a> (5,091 ft.)<\/span><\/strong>, Loop.\u00a0 Kind of a favorite spot, and we haven’t been there in a long, long time.<\/em><\/p>\n

Oh, that sounds good, SPHP!<\/em><\/p>\n

That’s what I like about you, Looper!\u00a0 You’re never picky as long as we’re going somewhere.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sticking with USFS Road No. 165.1A, Lupe turned L at the junction, soon passing the remains of an ancient cabin on the L.\u00a0 Beyond it, the road curved SE and began climbing steadily up a fairly narrow valley.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Heading up the valley. Photo looks SE.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After nearly 0.5 mile, No. 165.1A finally topped out at a lumpy spot.\u00a0 This was Pass 4780<\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0 A junction with USFS Road No. 722.1B was just beyond this high point.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
At Pass 4780<\/span><\/strong>. Photo looks NE.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Which way now, SPHP?\u00a0 L or R?<\/em><\/p>\n

Thrall Mountain is R, Looper, but we’ve got plenty of time.\u00a0 Peak 5040<\/span><\/strong> is only 0.25 mile N, and we’ve never been there before.\u00a0 Might have a decent view of Thrall from up there, or even catch a glimpse of Pactola Reservoir.\u00a0 Want to climb Peak 5040<\/span><\/strong>?<\/em><\/p>\n

Fine with me, SPHP!\u00a0 Exploring is fun!\u00a0 L then?<\/em><\/p>\n

Yup!<\/em><\/p>\n

No 722.1B wound around a bunch on the way up Peak 5040<\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0 No distant views present until the American Dingo reached a break in the forest where a power line running E\/W crossed the upper S slope.\u00a0 The top of Thrall Mountain was visible from here, but Lupe wasn’t high enough to see much more than that.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Thrall Mountain<\/strong> (L of Center) from Peak 5040<\/span>‘s upper S slope<\/strong>. Photo looks E.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

No. 722.1B continued N beyond the power line.\u00a0 Although almost certain the forest was going to block any better views, SPHP figured Lupe might as well finish her Peak 5040<\/span><\/strong> ascent.\u00a0 Didn’t take long to reach the road’s high point.\u00a0 Leaving the road, a short climb WSW got Loopster to the summit.<\/p>\n

As expected, no views.\u00a0 After standing on the highest rock formations, it was time for a break.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Peak 5040<\/span> summit<\/strong>. Photo looks E.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pleasant enough, but Peak 5040<\/span><\/strong> isn’t honestly all that scintillating, SPHP.<\/em><\/p>\n

They can’t all be magnificent, Looper.\u00a0 Nice, quiet spot, though.\u00a0 How about we share a chocolate coconut bar?\u00a0 Would that be scintillating enough?<\/em><\/p>\n

A vast improvement, I’m sure.\u00a0 Bring it on, SPHP!<\/em><\/p>\n

After supplementing the chocolate coconut bar with a little Taste of the Wild and water, the Carolina Dog was ready to move on.\u00a0 Rather than immediately returning to the road the way she came up, Lupe sniffed SW through the forest for a little way.<\/p>\n

Turning S, Loop soon came to the power line again.\u00a0 A bit farther W now than she had been earlier, there actually was a view of Pactola Reservoir from here, as well as another glimpse of Thrall Mountain.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

\"\"<\/a>

Continuing to explore S, Lupe eventually rejoined USFS Road No. 722.1B.\u00a0 Following it back to Pass 4780<\/span><\/strong>, this time she continued ESE down a long valley.\u00a0 Crusty old snow lingering on the shaded road crunched loudly beneath SPHP’s boots.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
USFS Road No. 722.1B ESE of Pass 4780<\/span><\/strong>. Photo looks E.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

0.5 mile from Pass 4780<\/span><\/strong>, the valley opened up.\u00a0 The road bottomed out amid a sunlit meadow bordered by stands of leafless aspens.<\/p>\n

This is a pretty spot, SPHP!\u00a0 Very secluded.<\/em><\/p>\n

Yes, it is, Loopster.\u00a0 Seems familiar, too.\u00a0 Almost certain I remember being here with you late on a snowy winter afternoon.\u00a0 We were on our way back from Thrall Mountain.\u00a0 Such a long time ago, almost like a dream!<\/em><\/p>\n

Crossing the low spot, USFS Road No. 722.1B started uphill again, first curving N then switchbacking sharply S before resuming a SE course.\u00a0 After a steeper, steady climb, the road turned NE and promptly leveled out.\u00a0 A side road took off to the N, and another power line running N\/S was visible a little farther E.\u00a0 SPHP checked the map.<\/p>\n

Alrighty, Loop!\u00a0 This must be Pass 4730<\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0 We need to take No. 722.1C now.\u00a0 That’s the road going N.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
At Pass 4730<\/span><\/strong>. USFS Road No. 722.1C goes L (N) from here. No. 722.1B continues R (SE). Photo looks NE.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Abandoning USFS Road No. 722.1B, Lupe followed No. 722.1C 0.2 mile N to Pass 4850<\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0 The power line she’d seen at Pass 4730<\/span><\/strong> crossed this pass just a little E of the road.\u00a0 Going over to it, Lupe enjoyed a better view of Thrall Mountain<\/span><\/a> (5,091 ft.)<\/span><\/strong> than the one she’d had from Peak 5040<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Returning to No. 722.1C, Lupe continued N into the next valley, passing under the power line coming E from Peak 5040<\/span><\/strong> on the way.\u00a0 Quickly looping S back to it again, the road turned E following the power line right-of-way, which now provided a direct route to the base of Thrall Mountain’s S slope.<\/p>\n

After passing a faint remnant of USFS Road No. 722.1D, which curved off to the NW, Lupe began angling NE, starting her ascent.<\/p>\n

Thrall Mountain’s S slope was nearly all forested.\u00a0 A fairly gentle grade soon became quite steep as Lupe climbed among scattered rocks and deadfall.\u00a0 Higher up, there was less deadfall, but more rock.\u00a0 Loop came to a boulder field, but by then she was already getting close to the top.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

2:08 PM, 52\u00baF, Thrall Mountain<\/span><\/a> (5,091 ft.) <\/span><\/strong><\/em>– Lupe reached the summit region on a ridge a little bit E of the true summit.\u00a0 SPHP was gazing NNE toward Turkey Ridge and Prehistoric Ridge, when the American Dingo made a quiet announcement.<\/p>\n

SPHP!<\/em><\/p>\n

Hmm?\u00a0 What is it, Loop?<\/em><\/p>\n

We’re not alone!<\/em><\/p>\n

What?\u00a0 Not alone?\u00a0 Unheard of!\u00a0 That was the last thing SPHP expected.\u00a0 At least, not on a Black Hills peak without a road or maintained trail to the top.\u00a0 Thrall Mountain had neither, yet glancing W toward the true summit, SPHP saw that Lupe was right.\u00a0 Someone was sitting there next to a huge cairn!<\/p>\n

So Loopster met Donovan.\u00a0 Turned out that meeting him wasn’t quite as enormous a coincidence as SPHP first thought.\u00a0 Donovan had lived in the nearby Johnson Siding region since 1995.\u00a0 He’d lost track of exactly how many times he’d climbed Thrall Mountain, but was pretty certain this was somewhere around his 1,100th ascent!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Lupe with Donovan, King of Thrall Mountain<\/strong>!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Donovan was friendly and most gracious.\u00a0 SPHP enjoyed a nice 10 or 15 minute chat with him.\u00a0 Having been up here so many times, Donovan said he usually didn’t stay long.\u00a0 He’d been about ready to start back down when Lupe showed up.\u00a0 Before departing, Donovan mentioned a registry hidden within the cairn, then he was on his way.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

\"\"<\/a>
On the cairn, with one end of the white registry tube visible inside. Photo looks E.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Did you hear that, SPHP?\u00a0 Donovan has been up here 1,100 times!<\/em><\/p>\n

Yes, I did.\u00a0 Simply amazing!\u00a0 Another 1,097 ascents of Thrall Mountain, and you’ll have caught up with him, Loop.\u00a0 Provided, of course, that he never comes back, which seems like a decidedly poor bet.<\/em><\/p>\n

Oh, I’m not doing that, SPHP!\u00a0 Nothing against Thrall Mountain, it’s lovely, but I’m not climbing any mountain 1,100 times.\u00a0 I don’t mind coming back to favorite places now and then, but I’d usually rather explore new ones.<\/em><\/p>\n

Good!\u00a0 I feel the same way.\u00a0 Unless I really ace a creative writing course, I suspect 1,097 repeats wouldn’t make for a very spell-binding blog, anyway, so that’s probably for the best, Loopster.<\/em><\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, the registry tube contained a big notebook chock full of entries, no doubt nearly all by Donovan.\u00a0 Nevertheless, after reading a few, SPHP entered Lupe’s name, temporarily breaking the pattern.<\/p>\n

You know what, SPHP?\u00a0 I bet Donovan built this huge cairn all by himself!\u00a0 All he would have had to do would have been to put a rock in his pocket every time he comes up here, and add it to the collection.<\/em><\/p>\n

I bet you’re right, Loop!\u00a0 Most of these cairn rocks don’t look like anything naturally up here already.\u00a0 Who else would have built it?\u00a0 Building it this big would have been quite a project for anyone who hadn’t been here 1,100 times, which includes everyone in the whole world other than Donovan.<\/em><\/p>\n

Yes, it’s an impressive cairn, but I still like your method better, SPHP.<\/em><\/p>\n

Huh?\u00a0 What are you talking about, Loop?\u00a0 I almost never build cairns, and rarely tote any rocks.\u00a0 Seems like work.\u00a0 Unnecessary work, at that!<\/em><\/p>\n

I’m not talking about rocks, SPHP, or even cairns.\u00a0 I’m talking about what you actually do bring up mountains.\u00a0 In fact, I’m really hoping you’ve brought another one up this mountain!<\/em><\/p>\n

Oh, I get it, sly Dingo!\u00a0 Hint, hint, aye?<\/em><\/p>\n

Evidently, time for another break, or at least, another chocolate coconut bar!\u00a0 Pines blocked the views in almost every direction, but exploring a little way down the S slope, there was a decent place to sit with a nice view of Black Elk Peak<\/span><\/a> (7,231 ft.)<\/span><\/strong> on the horizon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The chocolate coconut bar vanished.\u00a0 Lupe lingered, enjoying the view.\u00a0 Mid-afternoon, but the December sun was already low.\u00a0 SPHP wanted to check out another favorite Thrall Mountain viewpoint, a ridge of big rocks over-looking a steep, extensive boulder field on the upper NNW slope.\u00a0 After returning to the summit cairn, Lupe headed that way.<\/p>\n

The views were much more open here, a sweeping panorama to the N and W.\u00a0 Hat Mountain<\/span><\/a> (4,883 ft.)<\/span><\/strong> wasn’t very high or big, but it’s circular shape made it easy to pick out.\u00a0 A bit farther E, Norris Peak<\/span><\/a> (4,982 ft.)<\/span><\/strong> stood out a lot more.<\/p>\n

Custer Peak<\/span><\/a> (6,804 ft.)<\/span><\/strong> was discernable on the far NW horizon.\u00a0 Much closer, many other peaks were visible among the rumpled forested hills to the W and NW, but with the exception of Perrin Mountain<\/span><\/a> (5,212 ft.)<\/span><\/strong>, few were as readily identifiable.\u00a0 Still, it was a pretty scene, and Lupe was having fun scrambling around on the big rocks.<\/p>\n

3:28 PM, Thrall Mountain<\/em> – How times flies!\u00a0 Hat Mountain, Norris Peak, Perrin Mountain, Lupe had been to all of them, but years ago now.\u00a0 Good to see them again, if only from a distance.\u00a0 Now Lupe sat in the slanting rays of what passed for late afternoon sun in December, the magnificent cairn built by Donovan behind her.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
By the mighty cairn Donovan built on Thrall Mountain<\/strong> over 27 years. Photo looks N.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You’re beautiful Lupe, and I love you!\u00a0 Guess this is about it for your last adventure while you’re still 11.\u00a0 Did you enjoy coming to Thrall Mountain?<\/em><\/p>\n

Oh, yes!\u00a0 Of course, I did, SPHP!\u00a0 We even met the King of Thrall Mountain.\u00a0 That doesn’t happen every day.<\/em><\/p>\n

Lupe hadn’t made it very far down the S slope when SPHP noticed both New Year’s Eve Peak<\/span><\/a> (6,046 ft.)<\/span><\/strong> and Scruton Mountain<\/span><\/a> (5,922 ft.)<\/span><\/strong> in a gap in the trees.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Your birthday, Christmas, then weather permitting, New Year’s Eve Peak, Loop!\u00a0 Won’t be long before we’re way over there!\u00a0 2023 will be upon us!<\/em><\/p>\n

Don’t rush it, SPHP!\u00a0 Every day is precious.\u00a0 Let’s enjoy them all while 2022 is still here!<\/em><\/p>\n

With the exception of skipping Peak 5040<\/span><\/strong>, the American Dingo’s return route was the same.\u00a0 Following these seldom visited old USFS roads as light faded, it was up and down the long quiet valleys, and over all the minor passes.\u00a0 Evening gloam grew.\u00a0 The brightest stars twinkled.\u00a0 It was all wonderful, every moment alone together, as always.\u00a0 (4:59 PM, 38\u00baF)<\/em><\/p>\n
