Geo-caching, 4-wheeling and exploration in Arizona desertscape

Friday was a full-day with a long walk with Lucy to a geocache site – and she all dressed up in her “little black dress”!!

While we were out walking, Jack and DaNeil prepped the 4-wheelers and packed a picnic. Off we went on a 25 mile ride up into the Sierra Ancha mountains with our end destination being a huge cave and site of an Indian village. It was a fun and exhilarating and bumpy day!!

… And then on the way back down, we spotted a snake in the road. It’s head was crushed and rattlers removed, but it was still wriggling – obviously some kind of  final reflexes! Poor thing! But the first rattle snake I’ve seen in the wild.
