We are up and out by 7:30 this morning. Dale is riding first and I will switch with him after about 25 miles.
Making the rider switch...
The Phoenix/Tempe burbs seem to go on forever!
Superstition Mountain - as I understand it when the Apache who were nomadic warriors were forced onto the reservation they were not allowed weapons to hunt on their new home land or go to Superstition Mountain, one of their sacred places.
Another interesting place along the way...
Lesli on the road to Superior...
Entering Tonto National Forest
Lesli & Barbara in a sea of wildflowers.
Our campsite in Superior had a view of the creek, a nice shady tree and an incredible sunset!
Superior is a dying copper mining town - there is a British company that wants to open the copper mine again by doing a land swap, but the local indian tribe says the property is sacred ground and is unwilling to allow the deal, so far.
Beautiful flowers, and of course, love to see the cactus. How are those buns of steel coming?
