Superstitous Climbing

The most adventurous part of the trip so far was our hike through a gorge in the Superstition mountains. When i say hike, I really mean scramble, climb, slide, etc. The going was challenging and a bit scary at some points but we most often chose the difficult paths as like life here on earth, it's more about the Journey than the destination. (Side Note - Lisa maintains an unreal balance of carrying the sweet, pretty, feminine qualities every man wants in a woman while also nimbly scrambling to all of the adventurous places we go with an excitement and joy that only rivals my own.) In the pictures you'll see a somewhat phallic formation in the back ground; we made that our destination to refresh ourselves with water and apples before we turned back towards the camper. Crossing over the river was an adventure in itself and when we approached the second river crossing that flowed over the road, two ommish looking gentlemen allowed us to hitch a ride on their bumper to keep us from having to go pants up and barefoot through the cold water. Cheers to nice travelers on the road..... speaking of which, we just met a couple in their eighties that are full-time travelers, they have a huge fifth wheel and a smal motorhome, they choose which one based on where they are going... the most amazing part is they've been doing it for 15 years!

  1. WOW! You guys know how to travel! Lisa, hopefully the hiking that you and I have briefly chatted about :-), doesn't have this many rocks on the path. I can cross little bodies of water (as an example, PUDDLES) but no rivers, please :-). Still looks like you guys are having a great time and taking in some amazing sites. God is quite the "landscaper", isn't He? :-)
