Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.

Gold Canyon (AZ)

We don’t have internet access at our RV site.  Tom and I walked down to the Activity Center today to post these entries.  We never know when we’ll be wired!

Feb. 8, 2012 - Tom and I hiked the Bluff Creek Trail in the Superstition Mountains today.  It was a rocky and rough trail and it was a very warm and dry day.  We took lots of breaks on our uphill trek to gaze out at the canyons and mountains of this fascinating desert landscape.  We hiked far enough to catch a peek of Weaver’s Needle, a dominant mountain peak in the Superstition Wilderness area.

Back at the RV, we met our New Hampshire neighbors while we were hanging out on our cement patio with the cats.  They invited us to join them and a few friends on their deck to watch the sunset tonight.  While we were talking, a coyote wandered through their back yard.  There are lots of coyotes in the area.  It was great to see one passing through tonight.    

We ended our day with a relaxing soak in the hot tub.  It has been a very good day...
