We found gold near Lost Dutchman !

The story has it that a Dutch prospector in the 1880's found THE mother lode.  Unfortunately, he got lost, and to this day no one has been able to find the gold.  Well....we found it.

After nearly 25 years, we reconnected with our good friends, Keith and Shari.  Lost to Maui, Keith found us through Facebook.  And now they are living in Scottsdale; not far from where the Dutch prospector was lost. How terrific to see them again and catch up on family and happenings.  Parked BIW on the driveway for the night - and enjoyed the get together.

Moving on....Camped at Lost Dutchman State Park at the base of the Superstition Mountains.  Hiked some great trails including the Siphon Draw trail, through the Sonoran Desert and the Saguaro cactus.

Relaxed, watched the sunrise and sunset, and the
 constantly changing vistas.  This is definitely a campground we'll be coming back to.
