Start (9:30 AM, 29\u00b0F), 5 miles WSW of Deerfield Reservoir at the junction of USFS Roads No. 294 & 591 at the S end of Coulsen Hughes Draw.<\/em><\/p>\n

Gray skies and a sub-freezing temperature.\u00a0 Patches of snow\u00a0covered the dry, dead grass making the dark green of the forest appear even darker.\u00a0 A quiet scene, forlorn and remote.\u00a0\u00a0At the S end of Coulsen Hughes Draw, it felt like the start of winter.<\/p>\n

Lupe wasn’t concerned.\u00a0 She was ready to go exploring!\u00a0 For her, it was the start of good times on Expedition No. 71.\u00a0 Her friend, Sidney, was along, too.\u00a0 This would be his 5th expedition with Lupe.\u00a0\u00a0Big Sid\u00a0was also enthusiastic about the prospect of a day spent roaming the hills, now that he understood he wasn’t being dog-napped.<\/p>\n

Abandoning the G6, Lupe, Big Sid, and SPHP started N up Coulsen Hughes Draw on USFS Road No. 591.\u00a0 Coulsen Hughes Draw is a moderately wide, shallow, grassy\u00a0valley between two pine forested ridges.\u00a0 Snow covered much of the ground near the trees on the W side of the valley, but the road\u00a0was close to the E side and largely snow-free.<\/p>\n

On Expedition No. 68, Lupe and Sidney had reached the N end of Coulsen Hughes Draw from a different direction.\u00a0 It was about as far as they had gotten that time.\u00a0 SPHP’s old Black Hills USFS map showed that Crows Nest Peak<\/a><\/span> (7,048 ft.)<\/span><\/strong> was only 2 or 3 miles farther NW from there.\u00a0 Lupe had never been to Crow’s Nest Peak. \u00a0Maybe Lupe and Big Sid could find and climb it today, after exploring the length of Coulsen Hughes Draw?<\/p>\n

Loop and Big Sid had only been running around sniffing\u00a0for 15 or 20 minutes, when suddenly a vehicle could be heard coming down the draw.\u00a0 A pickup truck appeared with 3 guys in it dressed in camouflage and bright orange (the one defeating the other).\u00a0 SPHP chatted with them for a few minutes.\u00a0 They were elk hunters, but had seen nothing.\u00a0 Had SPHP?\u00a0 Nope.<\/p>\n

Truth was, even if SPHP had, the hunters\u00a0wouldn’t have gotten much help.\u00a0 Lupe and SPHP are more on the side of the elk.<\/p>\n

The trek up Coulsen Hughes Draw was an easy, scenic, gentle\u00a0climb.\u00a0 Lupe and Big Sid had a great time roaming at will.<\/p>\n

As Lupe and Sidney traveled up the draw, they passed by several stock ponds.\u00a0 The valley\u00a0was gradually becoming snowier.\u00a0 The ponds were all frozen.\u00a0 By the time they’d gone 2.5 miles,\u00a0Loop and Big Sid\u00a0were getting close to the N end of Coulsen Hughes Draw.\u00a0 One more stock pond was up ahead.\u00a0 Beyond it, Coulsen Hughes Draw split in two.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The valley was wider and snowier by the time Lupe and Sidney reached the upper end of Coulsen Hughes Draw. The last stock pond is up ahead hidden behind the earthen dam seen a little R of Center. Here the draw split in two. Beyond the stock pond, Lupe and Sidney took the branch seen on the L. Photo looks NW.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Even before Lupe and Sidney reached this final stock pond, SPHP recognized the larger branch of the draw\u00a0going N (R)\u00a0as being the place Lupe and Big Sid had made it to on Expedition No. 68 before starting back for the G6.\u00a0 The smaller branch of the draw\u00a0going NNW (L)\u00a0looked more intriguing.\u00a0 This branch\u00a0was totally new to Lupe, and led more directly toward Crows Nest Peak.<\/p>\n

USFS Road No. 591 went up the larger N branch. \u00a0Lupe and company left the road to explore the smaller NNW branch of the draw.\u00a0 An easy 0.5 mile trek brought Lupe to another dirt road.\u00a0 This had to be USFS Road No. 157, although the only sign present was an old wooden one that didn’t mention No. 157.\u00a0 It said only “Coulsen Hughes Draw” and pointed back the way Lupe had just come.<\/p>\n

At this point, Lupe and Sidney were at least halfway to Crows Nest Peak, which was still another 2.5 or 3 miles to the NNW.\u00a0 However, SPHP’s USFS map showed no roads at all leading any farther in that direction.\u00a0 Going NE on No. 157 would only take Lupe away from Crows Nest Peak.\u00a0 Going W, the road disappeared into a dense forest.\u00a0 It would eventually lead to Miller and Procunier Springs, which were at least a little closer to Crows Nest Peak.<\/p>\n

The last day of November is short.\u00a0 Time would be an issue.\u00a0 SPHP decided on a more direct route.\u00a0 Lupe and Big Sid crossed No. 157, covered the last of the open ground at the end of Coulsen Hughes Draw, and plunged into the forest traveling NNW straight for still unseen Crows Nest Peak.<\/p>\n

There was considerably more snow in the forest than on the open ground in Coulsen Hughes Draw, but it wasn’t too bad.\u00a0 Before long, the terrain leveled off and looked like it was about to start descending.\u00a0 SPHP thought it best for Lupe to stay high.\u00a0 Off to the W was a higher ridge, so Lupe, Big Sid, and SPHP turned that way to gain as much elevation as possible.<\/p>\n

The top of the ridge was all forested with no views in any direction.\u00a0 Lupe and Sidney turned N again and continued onward, picking a way forward through the snow, low juniper bushes, and scattered deadfall timber.\u00a0 Although the terrain went up and down a little,\u00a0SPHP thought Lupe was still gaining\u00a0net elevation, and hoped to get a glimpse of even higher ground toward Crows Nest Peak at some point.<\/p>\n

Lupe started coming to little-used logging roads.\u00a0 Since travel was easier on the roads, Loop and Big Sid followed them for short stretches when they seemed to be\u00a0going the right direction.\u00a0 Along one of these roads, suddenly Sidney was staring straight ahead.\u00a0 Movement in the trees!\u00a0 Sidney had spotted 3 of Lupe’s “giant deers”!\u00a0 Lupe hadn’t seen them yet, but the elk had seen Sidney.\u00a0 They were already disappearing into the forest.<\/p>\n

The giant deers made another appearance 10 or 15 minutes later.\u00a0 This time both Sidney and Lupe saw them and took off after them.\u00a0 The elk had a huge lead, however.\u00a0 Within a couple minutes, both Loop and Sid gave up and returned, the elk long gone.<\/p>\n

The logging road Lupe was on ended in the forest.\u00a0 Although it seemed like Lupe was quite high, no views existed in any direction.\u00a0 SPHP led on through the forest trying to head NNW while staying on the highest ground possible.\u00a0 Presently, open ground could be see ahead between the trees.\u00a0 Before reaching it, Lupe came to another logging road.\u00a0 The logging road took her to the edge of a long, wide field.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
After leaving Coulsen Hughes Draw and USFS Road No. 157 behind, SPHP tried to lead Lupe and Sidney through the forest NNW toward Crow’s Nest Peak. Lupe ultimately arrived at this long, wide field. Photo looks S(?)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Exploring is fun!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The new road divided almost immediately\u00a0upon entering the\u00a0field.\u00a0 Lupe had her choice of going S\u00a0while gradually losing elevation, or going NW gradually gaining elevation.<\/p>\n

Lupe and Sidney followed the road going NW\u00a0up a hill.\u00a0 Soon the land leveled out\u00a0on\u00a0top.\u00a0 A few inches of snow were on the ground.\u00a0 Another group of 4 or 5 giant deers disappeared NE into the forest, but this time only SPHP saw them.<\/p>\n

Near a stand of aspens, the road divided again.\u00a0 Lupe\u00a0had her choice of going W or N.\u00a0 A marker was at the intersection.\u00a0 SPHP eagerly anticipated\u00a0this possible clue\u00a0to how close Lupe was now to Crows Nest Peak.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
At the top of the hill, the road leveled out and passed by this stand of aspens. Beyond the aspens, the road divided again. Approaching the intersection SPHP could see a marker ahead, and looked forward to this possible clue as to how close Lupe and Big Sid were to Crows Nest Peak. Photo looks NW.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What the marker said came as a complete shock.\u00a0 No. 157!\u00a0 The same road Lupe and Sidney had left at the N end of Coulsen Hughes Draw!\u00a0 How was that possible?\u00a0 Lupe and Sidney scarfed up Taste of the Wild, taking a lunch break while SPHP sat on a log staring dumbfounded\u00a0at the USFS map while pondering the implication of this news.<\/p>\n

The map didn’t show No. 157 coming anywhere near Crow’s Nest Peak.\u00a0 Of course, the USFS map wasn’t very detailed.\u00a0 It was possible unshown minor side roads branching off No. 157 did.\u00a0 However,\u00a0side roads\u00a0would normally have an additional designation after the “157”, and this marker didn’t.\u00a0 Hmmm.\u00a0 SPHP shared a cheese stick with Looper and Sidney.\u00a0 The cheese was much appreciated.<\/p>\n

The most likely conclusion SPHP could come up with was that Lupe and company had not been going N, but W.\u00a0 SPHP must have become disoriented somewhere along the way.\u00a0 With no landmarks or views, and the sun hidden all day by clouds, it could have easily happened.\u00a0 Oh, well.\u00a0 Now what?\u00a0 SPHP was no longer certain where Lupe was, or which direction was which.<\/p>\n

Snack time was over!\u00a0 Lupe was still going to find Crow’s Nest Peak!\u00a0 SPHP led Loop and Big Sid along the road that supposedly went W.\u00a0 That lasted only a couple of minutes.\u00a0 Peering\u00a0through the forest\u00a0N of the road, it looked like the terrain\u00a0was about to start losing elevation in that direction.\u00a0 Maybe there would be a view from the hillside?\u00a0 Lupe, Sidney and SPHP abandoned the road.\u00a0 Back into the forest!\u00a0 Onward!<\/p>\n

Soon a view did appear.\u00a0 A noticeably higher ridge could be seen farther N.\u00a0 Crow’s Nest Peak?\u00a0 It looked like it was still 2 miles away, about right if Lupe had been going W earlier instead of N.\u00a0 Even though it meant losing elevation, SPHP decided to head straight for that ridge.<\/p>\n

Lupe and Sidney were still having a great time!\u00a0 They enjoyed the march down the forested hillside.\u00a0 Lupe came to two large water tanks.\u00a0 Water was pouring into one of them from a pipe.\u00a0 A small overflow stream trickled down the hillside below the water tanks forming an ice flow.<\/p>\n

Lupe followed the ice flow as far as it went, proceeding down into a valley.\u00a0\u00a0As soon as she got to the bottom, she regained lost elevation climbing up the other side.\u00a0 At the top she\u00a0made a turn to the W, and once again emerged from the forest at the edge of another\u00a0long, wide\u00a0field.<\/p>\n

About this time, the cloud cover started breaking up.\u00a0 It became possible to discern the position of the sun.\u00a0 SPHP thought Lupe had been going NW.\u00a0 The sun said she had been going SW, or maybe even straight S.\u00a0 Crazy!\u00a0 Simply crazy!\u00a0 One thing was certain, though.\u00a0 There’s no arguing with the sun.<\/p>\n

A period of wandering through big fields and pastures began.\u00a0 Lupe started off heading first NW then N according to the sun, though it all felt wrong to SPHP.\u00a0 As near as SPHP could figure out, Loop was somewhere N of Miller and Procunier Springs.\u00a0 If true, Crow’s Nest Peak<\/a><\/span> (7,048 ft.)<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0was still as much as 2 miles N.\u00a0 However, from none of this territory could Lupe see the high ridge she had seen earlier.<\/p>\n

The Carolina Dog came to a number of roads (all unmarked) and fences.\u00a0 After\u00a0traveling N and circumnavigating a wooded area in the middle of an enormous field, Lupe made a foray into\u00a0a forest even farther N.\u00a0 Traveling E near the forest’s edge, she came to another long stretch of open land\u00a0extending NE from the enormous field.\u00a0 This area looked promising, but the sun was now clearly past its zenith.\u00a0 Lupe retreated S\u00a0across the enormous field again.<\/p>\n

Near the S edge of the field, Lupe and Big Sid found another road.\u00a0 This road was marked No. 157.2C.\u00a0 A short journey E on it led to a\u00a0fallen log, suitable as a rest area.\u00a0 Lupe and Sidney finished off the Taste of the Wild.\u00a0 SPHP shared another cheese stick with them, while\u00a0consulting the map.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Looking N back across the enormous field. SPHP remains convinced that Lupe and Sidney had come within almost a mile of Crow’s Nest Peak while on the far side.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/a>

\"\"<\/a>
Say, SPHP, I realize this is just crazy talk, but have you ever considered investing in a GPS device, or even just a decent compass? Maybe then we could actually get to where we’re going!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
I second that motion! Also, how about putting some more supplies in that pack? A bite of cheese stick every 3 hours just ain’t cutting it for me!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The map still didn’t show USFS Road No. 157.2C.\u00a0 It wasn’t any more enlightening than it had been earlier.\u00a0 Sigh.<\/p>\n

Turning S\u00a0and crossing\u00a0the enormous field again had been an admission of defeat as far as reaching Crow’s Nest Peak was concerned.\u00a0 It wasn’t going to happen.\u00a0 Not today, anyway.\u00a0 Way out in the western high country of the Black Hills on the last day of November with the sun starting to slide toward the horizon, the only thing that made sense was to figure out where Lupe was, and\u00a0begin the journey\u00a0back to the G6.<\/p>\n

SPHP decided Lupe should head W on No. 157.2C staying near the big fields.\u00a0 Sooner or later, the road would lead back to No. 157, probably right to that intersection near the grove of aspens where Loop and Sidney had taken their first rest break.<\/p>\n

Even if one measly bite of cheese stick was inadequate, the second rest break was over.\u00a0 Onward!\u00a0 Big Sid seemed a little tired, but Lupe was still full of energy as they headed W on No. 157.2C.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
A last look NNW across the enormous field. Somewhere out there, not too far away, was Crow’s Nest Peak. Lupe and Sidney weren’t going to reach it today.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Time to start for home! Big Sid heads W on USFS Road No. 157.2C, seemingly a bit tired. Lupe still had energy to bound around. Here she’s standing at the edge of the forest. Photo looks WSW.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lupe races back to SPHP while Big Sid pauses to wait patiently for the signal to continue.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

No. 157.2C went W only far enough to sweep around the W end of the forested hill to the S.\u00a0\u00a0Upon reaching the other side, it wound E and SE all the way back to the intersection with No. 157 near the grove of aspens.\u00a0 At least that had worked!<\/p>\n

It would have been easy to simply follow No. 157 all the way back to Coulsen Hughes Draw, but now that SPHP was certain where Lupe was again, there wasn’t as much urgency as before.\u00a0 Lupe and company took a snowy road heading S from the aspen grove.\u00a0 Lupe\u00a0could explore a different valley W of Coulsen Hughes Draw this way.<\/p>\n

This route was beautiful and a pleasant trek.\u00a0 Lupe found a squirrel to bark at.\u00a0 Her excitement revived Sidney’s spirits as he got into the act, too.\u00a0 Another adventure was ahead.\u00a0 Lupe and Sidney saw\u00a06 or\u00a07 giant deers, the biggest herd yet!\u00a0 Oddly, they had been congregated near\u00a0a large\u00a0skeleton.\u00a0 As the live elk ran off, Lupe and Big Sid\u00a0carefully investigated\u00a0this most\u00a0interesting find.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Lupe and Big Sid cautiously sniff an old skeleton. For some odd reason, 6 or 7 live elk had been congregated near it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lupe reached USFS Road No. 294 again a couple miles WNW of where the G6 was parked.\u00a0 SPHP was pretty certain she had come down the Dowell Spring drainage after passing E of Dowell Spring itself.<\/p>\n

Instead of staying on\u00a0No. 294 the rest of the way, Lupe and Sidney traveled through the grassy valley just to the S of it.\u00a0 More to sniff!\u00a0 More to explore!\u00a0 Although the sun was still shining on the ridges, all was in shadow down here.<\/p>\n

After going a mile E, another road left No. 294 going first SW, but curving SE as it went up a side valley.\u00a0 SPHP was seized with a desire to see the sunset.\u00a0 Lupe and Sidney started up this side valley, eventually climbing the W side of it.\u00a0 Everyone reached the top of the ridge to the W, but there was no view due to the thick forest.\u00a0 All that could be seen was a final, filtered, glimmering between the trees.<\/p>\n

With the last of the\u00a0sunlight gone, a feeling of solitude descended.\u00a0\u00a0The sky was clear.\u00a0 No colorful sunset could develop.\u00a0 Still,\u00a0quiet, remote.\u00a0 That was\u00a0this place, this moment.<\/p>\n

Still, quiet, remote, cold and\u00a0dark was coming.\u00a0 Better get going!<\/p>\n

Sidney was done.\u00a0 Filled with joy when he finally saw the G6, he trotted ahead of Lupe and SPHP as fast as tired paws would take him.\u00a0 He stood waiting for SPHP to arrive to open\u00a0the door. \u00a0Big Sid\u00a0jumped in without the slightest hesitation the instant the door opened.\u00a0 Home, James!<\/em><\/p>\n

It was nearly dark, but Lupe wasn’t in such a hurry.\u00a0 She was used to long days exploring.\u00a0 The Carolina Dog paused for several minutes, still sniffing the light breeze.\u00a0 Maybe she knew winter really was coming, and she wouldn’t be back in the high western hills again for a long time.<\/p>\n

Lupe hadn’t made it to Crow’s Nest Peak, but Coulsen Hughes Draw had still been an adventure.\u00a0 Together with Big Sid, the Carolina Dog had out-hunted the hunters, and seen the giant deers.\u00a0 No one was shot dead or wounded as a result.\u00a0\u00a0Everyone, including the giant deers,\u00a0would live to see more adventures in the days to come.\u00a0 End (4:44 PM, 27\u00b0F)<\/em>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
