One of the reasons that I love these trips is that I love to watch the dogs work, and it is such a joy to see the bliss on their faces. Another reason is that there is ALWAYS something new to discover... even in areas that you have walked dozens of times before. We started at a new area this year, and climbed down a small canyon to follow the creek at the bottom. The creek averaged about 10 feet across and about six feet deep....crystal clear and beautiful. We followed it upstream for a couple of miles.........and then it just ended! It ended (or started really) in a sandy basin where it just bubbled out of the ground and it honestly sounded like it was singing to you with a blurp blurp blurp sound. I have never seen anything like it, especially in the middle of the desert. I was amazingly cool.

This is a picture of the area that the creek emerged from the ground.
