Ken and Donna arrived just before 9:00 to pick us up...this morning we're going for a hike in Estrella Mountain Regional Park. Donna is an avid hiker and in the four months they have been here has hiked all of the trails here in the park (as well as many other trails in the area), so she is showing us some of the beauty of the area. (Click on pictures to enlarge)
We drove the short distance to the trailhead...and we were off...

OMG Ken...what did you eat last night!!!! LOL! It's obviously a multi-use trail!

Can you see the bird on top of the Saguaro Cactus?

Lunch break is over...time to head back...
Trail rides are available in the park...
Four hours and about 7 miles later, we were back at the car...my feet were killing me but wow, what an awesome hike in a beautiful desert area!Ken and Donna dropped us off at our trailer and Steve and I spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing. It was a beautiful day...here is a picture of the golf course from our site...
At 6:30 Ken and Charlene picked us up and we headed to Goodyear Ballpark to watch the Cincinnati Red Skins take on the Los Angeles Dodgers. This would be our very first professional baseball game. The senior's rate (yes, we're considered seniors for this event) also included a hot dog and soft drink.
