I'm running low on new places to walk on the lower Gila. Today I picked a section south of Painted Rocks. The mesa edge is pretty far from the river edge so I didn't expect much and I didn't find much.

Wasn't sure what to expect from the road heading due south from Painted Rocks. It's not bad on average but had a couple jeepy sections that I could have given up on. I think I've been watching too much Matt's Towing though and just powered ahead. My new Outback picked up some pinstripes - this will help my outdoorsy credibility in grocery store parking lots.

As usual I enjoyed walking out there but I only saw a couple minor rock alignments and maybe got another clue on the dotted paths - Alston might be right that animals could do that.
