Dropped a vehicle off at Peralta and drove over to First Water, both lots were about a third full. After about a mile we came across a buzzworm sunning itself on the trail

he eventually moved off to let us by! The flower show was pretty good all day long

still plenty of water out there.

We didn’t see anyone between Parker Pass until a bit past Aylor’s camp (couple of backpackers) but we did see a gila monster

After that no one until Fremont.

As we were descending Peralta we came across a man sitting on the ground. He had sprained his ankle and he couldn’t put any weight on it. A woman was with him and a third person in their group had gone to get help. We gave them an ace bandage and some water and then continued. A bit later we were sitting at the trailhead enjoying a cold one when SAR arrived and then a helicopter. It seemed like a routine rescue and we left shortly after.
