Dankworth Pond State Park
Roper Lake State Park
Partners none no partners
After dinking around in the Chiricahuas in the morning, I pulled into Safford in the afternoon and met up with Chad at Dankworth Pond State Park. It was a nice reunion, I hadn't seen him since 2017. His hiking partner joined us for a lap around Dankworth Pond. Uneventful except for a bird acting a bit weird on the back leg of the loop. But it flew away, so no rescue needed apparently. Not much has changed here, but always nice to revisit every half decade or so.

We then jumped in the vehicles and went over to Roper Lake State Park and did another lap around the lake there, while catching up on 7 years worth of news. A lot has changed there and most of it was pretty decent actually. It was weird though. The campgrounds were packed, but everyone was staying in the campgrounds. Just a few fishermen at the east end of the lake by the dock. No one on the island or wandering the park at all. It was good to see the lake again, even though it was pretty low. I still remember my first time here, catching a 6lb largemouth bass off the shore. A lot of good memories here. It was good to be back, although I wouldn't be staying here on this trip. I still had a few miles left to go before I would camp. After the lap and catching up a bit more, I headed out to my campsite for the next 3 nights. I included my drive out there in this photoset, as the views on the drive were pretty sweet. I would meet up with Chad again in the morning and we would go on a long overdue hike together again. I think it was the first hike we had ever done together, back in 2012. Revisiting old places and old friends never gets old.

Picked up my buddy for a couple hours of lower mountain fun.
We hiked down to Johns Dam which was flowing very good with snow melt.
Then it was out to Goat Tank for a sit.
Flowin' snow melt, flowers are coming in and green everywhere ... feels like spring.
Ended the day at Roper Lake for a birthday party and walk along the dam.
