Fritz and Wolfie down to the river

My original plan was to join the Huachuca Hiking Club on their walk up Carr Canyon, but after yesterday's hike up Carr Peak, wanted something different. Besides, seeing the river after Wednesday's rain was important. I wanted to see if new water has reinvigorated the flow. 

As soon as i could isolate Fritz to the backyard, I was ready to go. Wolfie was with him. Good enough. We got to the trailhead just before 6am. Both dogs were excited to get started. The morning air was still cool. 

The dogs know the way so it was no surprise to see both dogs in the water when I caught up to them. Yes, Wednesday's rain added volume to the river bed, but not enough to get the water flowing again. 

 I found a clutch of hatched turtle eggs near a hole in the sand. It looked to be around ten eggs. Turtle eggs incubate in 72-80 days, so these egg were laid in March. 

 I walked north to see any more changes to the water. Sections were still damp from the rain, but the surface is now drying up. I made the 2.75 mile the turn-around as I knew the last two miles back would be hot for the dogs.

Today was the first time I've come across a vehicle on the official San Pedro river trail.  It was a Toyota Tundra with a Permanent Fleet tag, CF-05326.  No body was in or near it.  The truck was parked on the road facing north.
