A late start due mainly to lack of motivation but due to overnight rain I had a reason to be out on this distinctly humid morning... to check the rain gauge at the junction of Coon Bluff Road & Bush Highway.

Although I had a reason to be out here, I still wasn't feeling that motivated so I just set off wandering along what turned out to be a somewhat clockwise elongated loop, more off-trail than on, but at least I crossed the Salt River #100 trail on a few occasions.

As many times as I've wandered in this area, I did manage to find things unknown to me before... like the capped-pipe of what I'd guess would be an underground water tank. I'll have to bring my pipe wrench and drop-line along sometime to open it and see how deep it may be... and if there is any water in it. (There is another capped pipe within a half-mile I'm aware of that I keep thinking of doing the same thing but have not as yet done so... maybe the time is nigh?)

I almost forgot to take the requisite documentary photo of the rain gauge before emptying it. At 0.665" precipitation overnight I was a bit surprised as it was double what we had about 8 miles to the South.
Temps were 78-93°
