Still Number One in our books, the Lost Dutchman State Park is beautiful!
Having seen the movie (you should too) several times, we still can’t figure out where the hidden gold mine might be, and my old hockey knees will only let me investigate so far up the trail (and not far enough) sigh. That’s OK though because we could sit and gaze at the rugged beauty surrounding us… for days; and there are lots of ‘lesser’ hikes to expend my energy on. Kathy will head off on the steeper trails and I’ll keep up as I can. Maddie is also adapting and does pretty well avoiding cactus and other prickly apparitions.
We’ve had two days of blazing hot temps and, starting tomorrow, the temperature is forecast to drop significantly. No snow is expected though 😁 (like last time we were here). We’ll be at Lost Dutchman for a total of two weeks before we move on heading west and northerly. Until then we’ll kick back, watch the news, and enjoy the desert beauty that surrounds us. Probably get a little reading in too.
Hope all is well with each of you… adios for now. CJ
