January 23, 2016. Beautiful Superstition Mountain

CAMPGROUND:  Last night at Lost Dutchman State Park
LOCATION:  Apache Junction near Phoenix, Arizona
WEATHER:  Another beautiful day. Highs in low 70s

Another beautiful day for a hike.  We have now hiked all but the tall mountain trail categorized as "very difficult" here in the park.  Since today is Saturday, the trails were busy.  In addition to hikers of all ages, cowboys on their horses traveled the trails.

No, this isn't George........


This modern one quickly hid his cell phone for the picture

We returned to the Arizona Wilderness brewpub for lunch.  George really likes their beers.  The campground is too far out of town to pick up cellular service, so we did internet work at the pub.

Back at the park, the sunset was the most glorious of all the evenings we have been here.  It turned Superstition Mountain golden yellow.  

George made a campfire.  This will probably be our last one until after our Australia trip, so he used up lots of wood and papers.  We listened to Prairie Home Companion on the radio while the fire blazed.

DINNER:  Grilled porkchops.  Side was polenta cooked with herbs.  (We have lots of grits to eat up).  Side was a perfectly ripe melt-in- your-mouth avocado.
