In the morning I saw a Facebook post from Coronado NF about some work that was recently done by volunteers down at Camp Rucker. I had been meaning to get back to West Turkey Creek and Rucker Canyon to see how things looked in this super productive monsoon season anyway, but seeing the post sealed the deal! Out the door I went to visit some old favorites (but not early: I left at 11 and didn't get home until 10PM :lol: ). I started with West Turkey Creek and finished the day down Rucker way. Visiting the two areas would entail 285 miles of driving from Tucson for the day, so I knew with the late start I couldn't linger too long in any one place. But, this trip was about enjoying the great scenery and doing photography anyway. The focal point was to see the work done at Camp Rucker. When I was there in 2019 it was pretty overgrown and difficult to see the pathways, etc. It is looking pretty good now, with the paths easy to follow. I liked that they left some of the buildings with doors ajar to keep them aired out, and make them inviting for a look see. :)

With the heavy rains gone for awhile, I figured all the main roads I traveled on would have been graded and in good shape, which they were (including Kuykendall Cutoff). It turned out to be a really a fun day! :D

Moderate at the site, but substantial for many of the areas I drove through for the day.
