PegLeg Falls...

On Saturday, Rebel and I decided to go exploring again. We found some gorgeous rivers and a day use area that is no longer open. Of course, the fact that it was closed to the public didn't stop us from taking a look around...

But before we did that, we went way up a gravel road and found this cool stream. And where the culvert was the road dipped down to allow the stream to just go over the road when it got flooded. Apparently this is common in Arizona, but I had never seen anything like it...

Daisy: This is stupid...
Noelle: Cheese... 

Rails to prevent trees from getting into the culvert...

Looks like I need to go back to Photography 101...

A little better...

It's a hole...




Looking down on the river...

Not a ghost. Just a Rebel...

Even though the weather wasn't great, we had a good time hiking around. Hopefully we can find another good hiking spot on the 4th...

    1. Well... go to Detroit Lake, hang a right towards Breitenbush, then keep driving for a long, long time and *poof* you're there... kinda.
