Took some buds to the airstrip for the afternoon. This is one of those hikes where the drive is longer and tougher than the hike itself. Super easy stroll along the creek bed or side road down to the Verde. Tons of animal tracks. Nothing was green due to the season, but it is still cool to be walking in the wetland area and have all the saguaros and desert up above you. I forgot how funny it is the 'road' just pops out of nowhere sometimes. The creek was flowing the entire length to the Verde this time due to all the rain we had recently. Tons of animal tracks. The Verde was seriously flowing. No way would I cross on the trail here. We estimated it to be perfect kayaking flow. Didn't see any wreckage from recent plane crash, but we didn't expect much anyway. Got 2 ringers on 5 throws. On the hike back we saw ATV tracks over our steps about 2 miles from the TH indicating someone was back there with us, but we didn't see or hear anyone the whole hike. Tons of animal tracks. Didn't see one single animal either, not even a bird, a bug, nothing.
