Short Description of Activity
A second hike to Carney Springs in the spring to see if it was different from December.
Reflection/Evaluation
This time we took a slightly different trail after scouring maps and apps to locate the exact place of the spring more accurately. In December, we assumed it was above a cave, where a waterfall would be if it was running. This time we realized the waterfall would only be runoff, and the actual spring location was in a slightly different area. We discovered wet rock by a very small cactus. It was exciting to see discover this location! The water fall was still not flowing.
