James, Cierra and I did some hiking and geocaching at Lake Pleasant today. The weather was just beautiful.

The "pool"; I love the cattails, these are new growth from the last time I was there

Views along the hike - this is a beautiful, unexpected treat within the desert

While geocaching I seem to have lost my marbles - James located them for me (see? upper right hand corner of photo)
