Thur, 16May - Skull Bridge and Ghost Ranch

Wed15May - turned out snow still soft but it didn't extend down the north slope like I thought it might.  After a little more post holing the snow cleared at it was a cool, gradual, hike through pine forests; even saw some old growth ponderosa pines.  Climbed down past some very colorful sandstone cliffs and camped will Bob at Skull Bridge.  

On Thursday hiked into Ghost Ranch past very colorful sandstone cliffs.  Ghost Ranch is real nice.  Enjoying a campsite and all you can eat meals.  Might stay another day on Friday.
