On the warm side for this hike and yet due to the Eagle closure, about a month remains prior to a six month closure to get this one in.

Saw three heron and one egret of the feather, and cattle, burros and Javelina of the hide.

The Javelina were amazingly agile trotting down the white bluff slope on the way to the mesa. I didn’t see them until they were almost down into the mesquite grove. A photo would be money, yet this remains a check made to “self” as my camera lagged behind the opportunity.

Views from the top are expansive—as ruins go, standard fair as mesa top dwellings are found.

Cattle present and with that, goes standard cowboy moves along the route in and out. Feral burros were at a minimum today. No water crossings as landscape remains very dry. The mesquite bosque road walk on the way in and out is pretty much the only shade on the route.

My statistics are approximate.
