After reading the recent triplogs about no apples

at Reavis Ranch, it made me think about all the apples I noted on the old trees at Peterson Ranch up by Aztec Peak in June. So I decided to head up and see how they looked. Short notice invite for Jack, but he was in. That meant I would drive around a little more than had I been alone, so I could show him a few more places he hadn't seen yet. After the stop at the research station it was up to the apples. Lots of them, now maturing nicely, though still not really fully ripe. Jack discovered a pear tree too, which I had never noticed in all my previous visits. Little devils were hard as rocks. :lol:

The trail to the meadow was easier to follow than my last visit.

We drove up to Aztec Peak since we were nearby, then back down and over to the Reynolds Creek Road, plus a side trip up to Billy Lawrence Trailhead and excellent view down into Cherry Creek. In general the roads were in a little better shape than in June. On the way out we stopped at those stunning cliffs by the deep cut of Parker Creek. The wind, dust, and scattered thundershowers made for some interesting effects looking out toward the lake.

We headed over to Porter's in Superior for a meal, and I stopped next door at the market to pick up some green chiles to roast at home. Then it was home via Florence, Coolidge, Picacho, and I-10. Another good day in the Anchas, one of my happy places.
