Day 1 - Old Safford Bridge to Gillard Hot Springs

Single lane bridge built with convict labor in 1918. Put-in located at the far end. Even for Arizona, this seemed a little out there. So was more than a bit surprised that a vehicle did go by while rigging up. Took two hours plus to do the shuttle which was longer than planned. The dirt road to Bonita Creek did not agree with the low clearance city min-van and we averaged about two mph on the shuttle. So didn't get packed/launched until 3PM.
