It's a good thing we headed south as Sedona received snow and cold this past weekend. The park we landed in is Cave Creek Regional Park north of Phoenix. As with all the Maricopa Regional Parks, it is well managed with nice facilities, well marked trails, plenty of activities and best of all, this one has horse back riding. I took an hour ride and had a blast.
It rained our first day in the park so we took a drive around the area to see how it compared with the other parts of Phoenix. It is an area that is developing and the homes seem to be on the high side. We found a Petsmart and purchased a scratching post/cat bed for Blue. He loves to play with the feathers hanging from the side and will sleep in the bed but has yet to figure out the scratching part. As cats go, he is not bad when it comes to scratching but any scratching is too much for Gary. We also discovered the funky little town of Cave Creek with it's old fashion western store fronts and galleries. There was a craft show going on when we walked the town center but the rain made it difficult to get any shots of this busy little town.
Last night as we walked the park at sunset we could hear a single coyote calling on the hill north of our camp ground. In the night he moved into our site and was barking for company to join him in a meal. I think he smelled the fish dinner we cooked outside last night and was hoping for a little fish treat to share. This morning I woke at sunrise and noticed 5 balloons floating over the hills just south of the campground, very peaceful.
