Geo and I are back in the field, and today we drove from Morenci to Safford via the "Black Hills Scenic Backway." This is the old Safford Bridge on what was formerly the main road between Clifton and Safford. The bridge crosses the Gila River in the Gila Box Riparian Restoration Area. I think it is fantastically beautiful.

As we were driving along a stretch of the Backway we came upon this small herd of horses blocking the road. We had to beep and nudge our truck through them, and that cute wee donkey was NOT going to move! We had to drive AROUND him! Ha!
