| 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. |
 |
| From the trash pile. |
 |
| From the trash pile. 10oz glass bottles. |
 |
| 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. |
