Yesterday we toured the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum adjacent to Saguaro National Park. The concept of the museum is to allow visitors to see the nature of the desert in a natural setting. The museum consists of several buildings that include live habitats for reptiles, butterflies, hummingbirds as well as a vast area of a desert zoo. We headed to the reptile building and saw the local rattlesnakes (so we can identify them to the medics when we are attacked by one hiking), but quickly left because this building was also a Covid incubator! We then went to the outdoor…

At Lost Dutchman we loved the campground/campsite (#27)! The campsites are spread out so you are not looking onto another site and most sites have a clear view of the Superstition Mountains. At our specific site we had a clear shot of the mountains and had cocktails every night to watch the spectacular changes during the sunset. We also were dazzled by the wildlife! We were…

We started at Granite Reef Recreation area...nothing but horse poop! We continued to Coon Bluff Recreation area...no horses but plenty of horse poop. So we decided to try fishing...first we fly fished, great fun, but no fish and…

Today we headed out to the Superstition Mountains in search of gold! We hiked up the Treasure Loop Trail with a destination of the “Green Rock”. The whole time we were wondering how hilarious it would be if we found the gold mine....What we would do with a gold mine? Given we are retired it was decided that we would have to sell it to the highest bidder. Legend tells of the Lost Dutchman gold mine somewhere within the 160,000 acres of the Superstition Mountains. The gold mine and the mother lode is estimated to be worth $200 million! We…
