Had the day off and had to get out. opted for Lime Creek due to its close remoteness. Turned out to be a great choice. The rains have it flowing well, and it was cool to see water flowing in from the tributary canyons as well. Making way up the canyon, there were some fresh lion prints on a sandbar! Man I hope to see one soon. There was alot of deer and javelina track throughout as well. The rain the night before made for a nice clean slate and stories were written all over it. Made it to the fish barrier damn and found a tarantula chilled out on top of it. I moved him into some sunlight to give him a fighting chance. Others werent so lucky. came across the head of a fox and carcass of a Gila monster. Im now a pretty big fan of the canyon for the many reasons listed above.

FYI. Horseshoe dam rd and the trail leading to lime creek arent in the best of shape. 4x4 is definately required on the trail in.
