I went up the road to Spur Cross to get a short rehab hike under by belt and ended up doing an actual hike. Yay. I was slow as molasses but I got her done!
We'll see how my new funky fused spine and bad knee feel tomorrow. So far, just some minor swelling and stiffness.

Perfect weather. Overcast and a pleasant breeze throughout the hike. I visited some petroglyphs I've seen before and some Hohokam ruins. There is a 40 room complex with lots of pottery I was going to check out again but I think the "archies" have put up cameras to stop trespassing and looting. I noticed they had Google blur the satellite image recently so more people don't become aware of the huge site only 1/2 mile off of a well traveled trail.

Light flow in Cave Creek and the trees are beginning to leaf out. Brunch at "Brunch" in Cave Creek after the hike...excellent food!
