Max and I have been trying to do at least 1 good hike a week, as well as walking 3 miles every morning. What Max calls Spook Mtn is found near the corner of Ellsworth and Brown in Mesa, and is one of the places we enjoy hiking. It is about 300-350 ft elevation and about 1/2 mile to the top. We take Fancy with us so she can get her exercise too. Two trips up and down and I'm ready for breakfast.

Spook Mtn is so called because livestock will not go near this area. No one knows why. |

On Sunday some of us went off-roading through Bulldog Canyon. Here is a shot of 4 peaks in the distance. |
|
Although this road seems to end, we are in the bottom of the canyon and it just winds around through the mountains. |
|
The flowers weren't blooming but the desert was very green. Even the mountains looked green because of the lichen growing on the rocks. |

Our small off-roading group. |

I got this great shot of a butterfly on a small bloom. The butterfly was only about an inch long. |
|
We stopped to watch some serious 4-wheelers rock crawl up this hill. They all made it up and down. |

Looks like fun - all we need is a 4WD. That looks like an American Kestrel with those face stripes. Pretty.
