First, I need to whine: "WHY, BLOGGER, WHY?!".
Blogger made big changes to the way things work behind the scenes, so far I'm not amused.
On to the real reason why we are here:
Today we met Ranger Terry, and about 35 other people, at Lake Pleasant for a hike titled "Exploring A Slot Canyon".

| The two woofs stayed home with My Honey. |
 |
| Our tracks, an out and back hike. The hike was short, 2.25 miles round trip. |
 |
| The beginning of our hike. |
 |
| At the meeting location, almost ready to go. |
 |
| The only photo I got of Ranger Terry. |
 |
| Off we go... |
 |
| My son being snarky. |
 |
| Looking down in to the slot canyon we'll be hiking through. |
 |
| A small riparian area (where the yellow trees are). Next time I hike here, I'll explore the riparian area. |
 |
| Scenery along the trail. |
 |
| Our descension to the wash and slot canyon. |
 |
| I don't mind a leisurely hike, but this group was so large it was really slow going. |
 |
| Neat rocks. |
 |
| My son, the billy goat. |
 |
| Looking up. |
 |
| Looking up. |
 |
| Tree roots. |
 |
| Looking up :) |
 |
| Determined tree roots. |
 |
| I saw a face in this rock. |
 |
| Neat rocks. |
 |
| I look forward to returning to this area when there is running water in the early Spring. |
 |
| A small pool of rain water. |
 |
| My son, James, and his girlfriend. |
 |
| Even scraggly tree's need love. |
 |
"I feel charming,
Oh, so charming
It's alarming how charming I feel!
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I'm real."
|
 |
| Views from the trail. |
 |
| James and Gen. |
 |
| I found a holey rock. |
 |
| Neat rocks. |
 |
| Looking up ahead in to the slot canyon. |
 |
| Hikers of all ages were on today's hike. |
 |
| More neat rocks :) |
 |
| My son, the billy goat, and cholla cactus. |
 |
| Off in the distance, I could see a hole in the hills. |
 |
| These photos were taken by my son. Until I can get blogger's new format to play nice, the photos will remain out of order. This is the beginning of the hike, me and my Camelbak. |
 |
| Me. |
 |
| Me. |
 |
| Me :) |
 |
| A saguaro on the edge. |
 |
| Another cactus on the edge, I'm not sure if this is a young saguaro or a barrel cactus. |
 |
| The end of the hike. |
