November 22, 2000. Starting at the rodeo arena, backtrack about 200 feet down the dirt road. Just when the arena fence is disappearing from view, look for a trail on the south side of the road. Rock 'n Roll down the wash, and dip through the creek. When the trail reaches paved road 0.46 miles later, go straight across.
Currant bushes abound among the oak.
You'll also see wild oriental poppy and mahogany. About 100 feet down the trail, turn right at the marked trail intersection. Head downhill and across the dirt road. You're now on the River Trail. After crossing River Road again, it turns north to intersect the water tank road.
