| partners | | I was initially leery of how much water might be in Sycamore Creek. But Rick Vincent's photoset from June 2011 gave me some reassurance. Well that might not be an accurate view of normal water in June! ](https://hikearizona.com/dex2/images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif "Brick wall")
Good thing the full 8-mile trip was off the table early. While it would have gone much faster than normal due to stretches of dry ground, the temperatures today would have been unpleasantly warm with few opportunities to cool off in refreshing pools. Good to know for the future!
So our trip worked out pretty well anyway, despite being quite short in both time and distance. We hit a couple of swimmers in the granite narrows and took a long break at one of the pools that was over-my-head deep.
We saw a bushy-tailed animal scurry through the reeds. I think we decided fox was the most likely culprit. I wonder if they can catch crayfish? If not there's an otter or other aquatic animal that catches and breaks them open. Raccoon maybe?
It's good to finally be out of the internet-friend zone. 
Hyphenation location matters. |
