Parking lot pretty full. Saw lots of bikeriders along the Parkway. Had a little different version of a route in mind but it was a little warmer than I like so I improvised.

Headed east on to Sidewinder and then around to the west, took the AV, back down to Sidewinder, across the desert to the Sidewinder/Ridgeback Junction.

Quite a few hikers out today, most all said hello but there's always those two or three that just can't bring themselves to acknowledge you let alone say hello.
Quite a few bikers out. It would be nice if when they come up from behind that they say how many they are. I appreciate the ones that say on your left.
Quite a few lizards too.

On the way back got buzzed, it rattled my body as I got chills and goosebumps :lol: ... thot of taking a picture but decided I've had my fill of rattlesnake pictures with all the postings I see from Arizona Hiking on FB. Continued on Sidewinder, up AV and back down to Sidewinder and done.

PS I think my new waist pack is going to work great. The one I bot in 2003 or earlier was fine but didn't work as well when I carried my P&S camera.
For an update on office owls, see photoset.

And now it's time to enjoy the rest of my "Bonanza"🤠 Saturday.

a couple Lavender, some ratany and senna, otherwise everything is starting to expire including Stinknet thank goodness! Also, some blooming saguaros.

For me, sometimes it's just as much about the journey as the destination.
Oh, and once in awhile, don't forget to look back at the trail you've traveled.
