Clouds build and threaten in the morning, but eventually the sun gets through part-time.
I saw a javelina in the morning, and several rabbits and jackrabbits through the day, not seen much earlier on the trip. A few cows are grazing, likely kept to a small number on this vegetation. Later in the day the hills flatten out, and vegetation changes somewhat– the saguaros see to prefer slopes, and more thorny bushes grow here.
A couple of places I see dirt dug scooped up to hold water from the rain. Could this be a waller made by javelinas?
Beautiful scenery, Jim–making good progress!
