San Tan Regional Park

We're heading for a colder climate tomorrow, so we wanted to fully appreciate today's sunny and 60 degree weather. We haven't been hiking lately, but our blogger friends Carol and John suggested meeting at San Tan Regional Park.
We had a nice hike, four miles and not at all strenuous. In other words, not like the climb up Picacho Peak that the four of us did almost two years ago. If you want to see a challenge, click here. But back to today, a walk in the park was just perfect, since we hadn't seen Carol and John for a year and had lots to say.

I thought this cactus looked interesting with the back-lighting, but my photography doesn't quite capture it.

This park is popular with our four-footed friends too.
After our exercise, we attacked the pizza buffet at Pizza Hut. Yum! And we still didn't run out of things to talk about. What a fun time!

In preparation for our flight to Denver tomorrow, I thought I'd do a little Photoshopping to see how we look in the snow. Humm. Maybe we should pack coats.

  2. I see you need a spare horse to ride in the desert.

    Merry Christmas to you and Ron. Looking forward to more of your adventures in the New Year.
