This pond was spotted as I was driving home along Sunrise Highway,
after visiting Big and Little Laguna Lakes.
We were tired, and limping slowly along the highway,
behind an roadworks/construction escort truck.
Then I saw it off to the left - clearly a body of water!
My wife managed to grab the camera.
It was a couple miles away; we saw it at least 4 times,
and took 2 usable photos.
Here's what I saw through the trees:
Here's the aerial view of Cottonwood Creek pond.
In case you were wondering, the road to it has a locked gate.
We checked.
