Lost Dutchman State Park - Apache Junction , AZ

Who new Saguaro cactus was so tall?
Lost Dutchman SP is a redo from our first cross country trip.  We were here in early September and the temperature was above 100.  Now we are here in Spring with a balmy 96 degree day.  After hiding in the RV for an hour, Deb’s Fitbit is having fits.  She suggests a short hike, or something.  I suggest the little bike ride around the park.  After about three minutes, Deb decides that she may have a mountain bike, but she is more of a paved path kinda of girl, so we return the bikes and walk the trail.  It turns out to be a four mile hike in the heat.  To paraphrase an old saying, “What doesn’t kill you, makes you very tired!”

We had the same site we had before with a spectacular view of Superstition Mountain.  We watched the sun set, and the moon rise, sat at the picnic table and ate hanger steak with corn on the cob.
