Seaching for the Big Rock Candy Mountains...
A search for secert fishing hole lead to more exploring around the Gila River in Arizona. My son and I always say we are searching for the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
"One eveing as the sun went down and the jungle fire was burning.
Down the track came a hobo hiking and he said boys I not turning.
I headed for a land thats far away beside the crystal fountain.
So come with me we'll go and see the Big Rock Candy Mountians.
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains theres a land thats fair and bright
Where the hand outs grow on bushes and you sleep out everynight"
So heres our latest attemp to find these fabled Mountains.....
Heading out.

A beaver lived in this tree. Neat to see all the downed tree in the area and the start of a new beaver dam.

Great pics though and I think you finally sold me on the Red Rock color. my wife has been a fan of it for awhile, but these pics I think sealed the deal. If you have more please post them up.
