On a beautiful sunny day, The Misfits set out again on the Powerline OHV trail towards Robbers Roost, also known as Shaman's Cave. Our last visit in January's chill had Sara spotting a large nest high on the Red Rock. With spring's arrival, she was keen to check for fledglings. Thus, we set off for an adventure on the dusty red backroads.
The Powerline OHV road is accessible from Sycamore Canyon or Bill Gray Road. We favor the canyon route for its longer technical drive at the start, followed by a brief journey down Bill Gray to return home post-cave visit. It was the inaugural trip for Travis and Sara's new off-road trailer, and it performed perfectly.
The first stop was the large pull-off to air down our tires for much smoother dirt road travel. About a mile or so before the nest, we paused for Steve to launch the drone. The video revealed no fledglings, but much to our joy, there was a large egg. Perhaps another visit next month is in order.
After tackling a few challenging uphills, we reached Robbers Roost's parking area. We set up tarps for shade and enjoyed a scenic picnic, then a group trekked to the cave, a truly impressive and inspiring sight.
With a leisurely drive back, we concluded another memorable outing for the Misfits. The question remains: where to next?
