For the next 1 1/2 hrs. the four of us searched the wash for a distance of ~ 300 yds. with only one more Anelytropsis found (again by Allen in a similar situation). The arroyo floor itself is only ~ 10-15' wide with gradually sloping banks (leading to the road on one side . The banks are variously covered with thorn bushes and with small leaves and a more-broad-leaved tree (in flower at this time.
