Down River

This Wednesday we did a paddle 3 1/2 miles downriver from Willow Beach to locate the elusive Frogman Petroglyph. I've seen a lot of the other petroglyphs but I had never been able to locate the Frogman which is probably the most famous. As luck would have it, Bruce showed up for the paddle and the mystery was solved. Bruce probably knows where everything is located in Black Canyon. After a short downstream paddle, with beautiful weather, we arrived at the Frogman. If you didn't know where it was, it would be really tough to find since you can't see the petroglyph from the water and it's a really tough spot to land a kayak. As for wildlife, we spotted a couple Bald Eagles on the way down and on the way back we ran across a couple Great Blue Herons and a small group of Bighorn Sheep.
