[edit] Little Picacho Wash--March 25, 2008

The lower section of the Little Picacho Wash has impenetrable cliffs north and south, or at least not easily navigable. The wash does not allow easy access from south-to-north until between 1 to 1.2 miles upstream, and even then ridges, and side washes must by navigated.Mmcannis (talk) 04:40, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Interesting species

This lower section of Little Picacho Wash is composed of a cemented, or "moderately cemented" Tertiary, or Quaternary "conglomerate-alluvium"; (on the upper bench it forms a good hiking shelf). The north side of the wash, the upper bench which extends about 0.5 miles (+ or -) has a pine-like plant with a central dull yellowish flower; the "tree" is about 2.5 feet in height, about 3.5 feet broad. Beginning to bloom now, on March 25, 2008. The plant is almost certainly: Desert Fir/ Desert fir, the Peucephyllum, Peucephyllum schottii--Mmcannis (talk) 04:40, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Original research?

Please explain how this article does not violate WP:NOR. There is no citation, a single editor, and this suggests that it is based on personal observation. I will assume good faith at this point, but absent any evidence of it not being original research, I'll nominate it for deletion.--Curtis Clark (talk) 22:02, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
