Papa (father-in-law) and Mary just happened to be taking the Bucket (RV) from New Mexico to Arizona, and would be going past my home and Safford, so they agreed to give me a ride to Klondyke Road so I could restart my hike.

The view coming down Cottonwood Mountain in the early morning is a good start to the day.
I heard snow pellets hit the tent last night, but it was melted in the morning. Here is proof, as snow pellets piled up in spots along the trail.

I start the day following a creek drainage for several miles. A small fall at one of several drop-offs gurgles onward.
Continuing along drainage of Black Rock Canyon designated Trail 292, I start to see footprints as the trail merges with the main GET route.
