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

Gold Canyon (AZ)

Feb. 15, 2012 - Tom and I went back to the First Water trailhead to hike the Dutchman Trail in the Superstition Mountains.  It was a leisurely afternoon hike with lots of rest and snack stops.  Every time we pause and stop, we see so much more.  Tom pulled his harmonica out of his day pack several times and practiced Red River Valley, one of the songs that he knows.

Tom called Melissa (the other appraiser in his office) and found out that she had been stung by a scorpion while in the shower when she was visiting her dad in Arizona this past week.  She ended up in a hospital for two days and received six anti-venom injections!  When I went to the shower house at our RV park tonight, I really searched the floor for scorpions before stepping in!  Yikes...
