I had forgotten about the heavy rain earlier this week and had to 4x4 it through a few mud holes on the road past Seven Springs. There was water flowing across the road in numerous places but no more that a few inches deep. I drove in on FR18 to Red Creek and parked at the top of the grade where it drops into Red Creek Canyon. Red Creek was more like mud creek due to the recent rains and I soon found I had to wade in water higher than my boot tops to follow the creek down to the Verde. Having wet feet was OK but the gravel carried into my boots by the water was painful. The cotton woods were starting to leaf out but the Sycamores were still bare. There were some patches of yellow poppies on the south facing hill sides. I ran out of time before getting to the Verde due to getting a late start and taking some time to play with my new camera. So I had to turn around short of my goal and head back to the car. Made it home just in time for dinner. |
