Adventure 573: Cave Creek Regional Park/Post H

One more hike completes all trails.

What a difference a day makes? Yesterday it warmed to 73 degrees. This morning we were met with less than 50 degrees, and by the afternoon twenty mile an hour winds rustled over head. We took advantage of the cool morning for our longest hike yet in the park. We traversed the Flume trail, which met with the Slate trail, which met a part of the Overton trail we hadn't yet covered. Total distance walked today amounted to 7.7 miles. After lunch we read, napped a little, and otherwise kept ourselves out of the elements. In all, another good day in the desert where life is good, especially today.

P.S. My only angst surrounds the misleading political commercial aired by President Trump during the Super Bowl (The lady's sentence was commuted before Trump signed the First Step Act), but not even that could prevent me from enjoying the desert this morning.

 Saguaro of the day: Falcon says, "Oooh, cool!"

 And look at that bird, "Tweeet."

 "I'm a nature kind of guy."

 "I'm not kidding."

 "Let me prove it with my muffin face."

 Selfie of the day.

 "Don't you just love that Mimi and Poppops?"  (Question: Who among you grand parents didn't have grand children speaking in full sentences at seven weeks?)
