It was another beautiful day in Superstitions! :bigth:

(until I accidently ran over a snake) :cry:

Karl and I set out with hopes of finding water flowing at the Falls and a few :budrose:

. We found both! I suspect we were about a week late for the good water flow and a week early on the flowers. It looks like there will be a decent show of wildflowers on this trail soon. We ran into some folks on the trail that told us there was no water at the falls so they didn't go that way......we decided to press on because we thought we could see and hear them when the wind picked up. Although the water at the falls was just a trickle it was still nice to be hit by the mist while enjoying a a short break. We were headed out just as the temps began to warm up and passed many folks that were headed in. This was a new hike for me and an enjoyable one.

Still having a little camera trouble after the recent dunk/fall at Garfias Wash---the lens will not allow me to use it or move it in the manual focus setting so I need to get that checked out. Also lost my Olympus on the trail but found it on the way back. Geez I'm having some camera troubles lately.

:thanx:

Karl for a fun day!
