This was our first full day (day 2) of a planned 4nt/5day camping-hiking trip to our Mogollon Rim.

From Camp Grasshopper, I always enjoy this out and back hike to the Merritt Draw Riparian Area with a continuing short off-trail to check out Historic and Perennial Merritt Spring Box.

This day I was especially looking forward to our hike here as it would give me the opportunity to show my visiting TX Granddaughter how to correctly use a water filter at a spring source like Merritt Spring. She passed with flying colors and is now the proud owner of my old, but still new MSR Waterworks Ceramic Water Filter! Hopefully, she will have more valuable use with it than I ever did

	No water flow outside Spring Box this visit but ~2" deep of H2O in accessible Spring Box (best to use an extension tube type filter, like an MSR to access water within Spring Box).
