R44 dawn patrol, after the storms in Arizona

This morning at sunrise I flew dawn patrol in my little ship. The air was calm and cool, completely mesmerizing, cruising at 500’ AGL. The perennial river washes had a tiny tint of green from all the showers Wednesday night.

Southeast of Cienega Springs, AZ — Shea Road had several sections washed out. Literally, the paved road was gone. A reminder to always watch the weather closely. Flash flooding can be horrendous.
