Three weeks in the Sonoran desert

BTW, that old road you crossed is rather interesting.  Last year we took a few hours and walked it - the road is self-evident most of the time, and you can find it quickly in washes where you lose it. It leads to what was apparently an old trading post site near MacClean Spring.  There's pieces of at least one old bridge across some of Salt Creek, but then you have to find your way and avoid the deep mud which is a mess if you step in it, as I did.

I believe if you check out minute 1:20 for a great shot of the road in good condition and at 5:10 for the old pile of boards that may have been the bridge you discuss? Low level hikes are indeed heaps of fun.
