Taking a break on the Silver Peak trail.

Panorama view from the Silver Peak trail.


Friday morning Farmers Market next to the Post Office in Portal AZ.


Silver Peak trail climbs the side of this mountain.

Javelinas visit our campsite most afternoons.





Rick on the Nature Trail, leaving Sunny Flats campground.


Explosives locker (on the Cave Creek Nature trail) built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 30's.  The placement and design is interesting. Here's my interpretation. In the event of an accident, the natural bolder would protect the road and creek to the right.  The mountain on the left would dissipate the energy from the roof and left side of the locker.

Saturday night at the Portal Cafe...


The one man band (above) played rock and "Psychedelic" compositions while the mystery artist (below) painted based on the vib he felt from the music.
