Another great hike.....





There really are so many hiking places in Arizona I wonder if you could hike them all.....we shall give it our best effort! I drove to Terravita this morning and Sharon and I drove to Care Free State Park (??????) for a 5.5 mile hike on the Go John Trail. It was breath taking and very quiet today. On the long hike, we saw only two other hikers......we discussed mt. lions and bobcats and then I started thinking about them a bit too much! I think rattlesnakes are probably more of a worry, though. Whatever, nature is gorgeous here and I will coexist. :-) Photos are from our hike today...... the photo with the hole is an abandoned mine in the middle of nowhere. At least they fenced it totally in.

The top picture is spectacular. The name of the park is Cave Creek Recreational Area. :-)

Sharon is corn-fused?
Whatever the name, the photos are
awesome. 5.5 miles? You go girls....
Rain in the Valley. over 1 inch, no hiking
down here......

Well, Sharon's confusion was at least a LOT closer than my name for the park! Cyndy, your weather will improve girl. We must remember it is winter everywhere. :-) Tex/AZ winters are still better than Dayton/Ankeny winters!!
