| partners | | Starting at Wildcat Crossing bridge, (FR 25) we hiked downstream, setting up a base camp for two nights. This was a fantastic trip, and it's going to take me a while to post up everything. We swam, explored and laughed ourselves silly. There were five of us women on the trip. On the second day we hiked downstream but didn't quite reach the reservation boundary. We lucked out that it didn't rain. It spit on us for a few minutes, but the rain stayed upstream, causing the river to rise a little bit overnight. However, the crossings were rarely more than knee deep. I lost count of crossings. We probably crossed more than 20 to 25 times during the course of the weekend, which is why I always call my trips to this place "The Black River Wade."
I'll be back again to explore more sections, since this is just about my favorite place in Arizona other than Grand Canyon.
Note: My camera battery died. Some of the photos are mine, others are Deb's, Laurel's and Patty's. |
