Today our plan is to attend a Geocaching event celebrating 25 years of geocaching, followed by breakfast and then hopefully find a place to camp and hike. Unfortunately while we find multiple places to hike we cannot find a place to camp as there are too many people out for Memorial weekend. So after finding a couple good accesses to the Highline trail we return back to Phoenix in the evening, leaving the camping for another day.

- Special geocaching event in Payson
Today we are visiting a limited Geocaching Event celebrating 25 years of geocaching in Payson meeting many other cachers we have seen only on logs - Short exploration around Monument Peak
First stop after the event is Monument Peak trail system with a few new caches but with the heat we give up soon and move on - Exploration of Forest Road 144
From Control Road we try first to access the Highline Trail via Forest Road 144 which while possible is not feasible today due to the heat - Access road from Roberts Mesa to Highline Trail
Last hike of today is from Roberts Mesa Road accessing the Highline Trail via a one mile hike and then exploring it for a while before returning
