Doctor day for Cathy so I went back to the ridge above Black Mesa Creek to hopefully find some new (to me) petroglyphs. I saw the ones I found earlier this year but nothing new. I also went farther north this time and visited some collapsed Hohokam ruins. The recent rains have uncovered lots of pottery shards at this location... so much that I had to watch my step so as not to break anything.

I took a detour on my way back to the parking lot to find the park's game camera @Sun_Ray was looking for yesterday. It's gone again. I could see the marks in the tree bark were it was mounted however. I sure hope no one stole it.

The weather was perfect for the hike and didn't see anyone until the very end as I was coming down Tortuga. There were two groups of octagenarians, about 14 in total creeping up that steep grade. Good on them. :app: I hope I'm still able to do that in fifteen years.
