Drove out to the Box mainly to get some stock pictures for the Safford Chamber of Commerce.
I completed the entire Cottonwood trail then just hit a small portion of the other places photographing my favorite spots. I also visited the "Kearny ruin" and found some very good pottery including a nice Hohokam piece.
The Gila River is starting to run low now and Bonita Creek is no longer running into the river.
Saw lots of cactus blooms, many vultures & signs of coati everywhere in the mud.
Today's dusty overcast made for difficult pictures so I will have to go back out soon and try it again, still no rattlesnake or Gila monster sightings.
