Dave and Fred atop a hill in April near the Verde River in Arizona

Dave and Fred pose atop a hill near camp. Dave's walking stick is a piece of dead Saguaro cactus. The waterway is highly varied: in one section -- where the river divides into multiple fingers -- we barely fit beneath over-arching reeds (Mike calls it the "underground"). The Verde has lots of fun Class I and II rapids, and even a few Class III sections.
