A few nights ago, there was a ring around the moon. |
Today's hike: the newly completed Beardsley Trail at Lake Pleasant. |
See? The trail is shiny and new. |
Small cave, no one seemed to be home. |
The trail building crew. |
My hiking buddy Frank with the trail building crew. |
Saguaros. |
A birds nest in a saguaro arm. Normally these are up high, but... |
...this saguaro had many low arms. |
Wild burro was far, far away. |
Saguaro. |
A look inside the saguaro. |
Looking down on Morgan City Wash. |
The line of green and yellow trees in the distance is Morgan City Wash. |
Looking down. |
Looking back at the trail. |
Packrat's nest. |
I found a heart shaped rock, took a picture of it, and set it down. |
I walked a while and decided I wanted the heart shaped rock, |
On my way back, I lost Frank, somewhere off trail. |
I found my heart shaped rock and decided to leave it here. |
About two miles in to the trail, great scenery and a few nice switchbacks. |
Looking down on Morgan City Wash. |
A new, clean, sign (aka: no bullet holes yet). |
Nature finds a way to make trash look good. |
Gathering small rocks, including a small heart shaped rock. |
Layers of trash in a wash. I think this trash is from the 50's and 60's. |
From the trash pile. |

Morgan City Wash. |
The only lizard that let me take his picture today. |
The trail is an out and back trail; rather than 4 miles back, we opted to walk 3 miles along the road. |
Back at the Jeep (thank goodness). |
7 miles (8 had we returned on the same trail we came out on). YTD: 112.5 miles. |
