We introduced ourselves to the 3 ranch dogs as soon as we exited the vehicle. One stayed up top by the ranch house and spoke his excitement the whole time. We got here way later than we would have liked, and only got to hike about a half mile upstream before the sun went down. The dogs were following us and chilled at our camp, coming and going as they pleased. The river was flowing pretty good, and I was temped to get in even though it was mid January. We camped on a nice sandbank above the flood line. It rained all week before we came, and luckily we got clear skies all night. One of the ranch dogs stayed with us all night and slept next to my sleeping bag 
. Those dogs were so cool. We filtered or boiled the muddy river water and did not get sick. Tasted like the Verde! We left about noon the next day because of rain.
