Hiking Lake Pleasant, Pipeline Trail


We're here!


Lake Pleasant's Pipeline Canyon Trail.


Looking back on the trail.


Black and Orange Fuzzy Butt Bug.
This is a Velvet Ant, a flightless female wasp in the genus Dasymutilla, Dasymutilla Magnifica.


View of Lake Pleasant.


My hiking buddy, Mr. Bosseh-Pants.


Prickly Palo Verde Tree. Blue skies, perfect hiking weather today, 75 degrees.


Pipeline Canyon Trail.


Views from the trail.


A feeble attempt at Fall colors in the desert.


My first look at Scorpion Bay Marina.


A look back at the steps we just walked down.
(The steps are metal, in the center of the photo. I don't know what the wooden ramp is for, but I'm thinking snow + big chunky inner tube = fun. Not likely to happen though).


Scorpion Bay Marina.


Kayaks available for rent.


Boats. I want one. But first I want a Jeep, and to learn how to ride my own Harley.


Empty spaces in the marina for my future boat.


I liked the rope collection on this boat.


SexSea. Clever.


Planes. My Honey guessed that these may be Mustang's.


My view sitting on the marina dock. I laid down for a few minutes to relax and listen to the water below me and look at the blue sky above me.


Sailboat.


I told Mr. Bosseh-Pants, I know someone with a boat, maybe it's here at the lake. The Harley-Davidson logo on the window gave it away.


A cool looking tiki-man.


A view of Scorpion Bay Marina through the wire cage riding up to the parking lot.
