Hi,
A couple of months ago we took a walk in the stream down under the settlement Atzva parents live in. It was the best time to do it: it was all blooming and water still run in the stream.
Today I did it in a Polaris RZR (will call it “razor” here) with one Atzva niece. It was still nice – I never been down this creek and it was to be there and look on the area from a different point of view
Take care
