On Friday morning we were up headed out to the Bulldog Canyon area of Tonto National Forest where we quarantined. About a half a mile in from the Bush Highway, we found a great pullout spot to camp.
The weather has been beautiful! On Friday afternoon, we took our first hike heading out on what had been an off-road trail but is now closed to motorized vehicles. (although we have seen several going around the sign and lots of tire tracks on the trail) We bush-wacked our way back to the RV then spent time in our lawn chairs with tweezers, picking the cactus thorns out of our shoes!
Everyday we have taken a hike of at least 2 miles.
We were treated to watching what we think are wild horse grazing on the mesquite trees and low shrubs near the RV.
We hiked down to the Lower Salt River a couple times and Tobey took my bike out for a 12 mile ride. (We didn’t bring his bike out here – mine is an old mountain bike so it’s a little better suited for riding here.) We were treated to some beautiful sunsets from our camp spot, too!
On Monday night we sat outside watching for Jupiter and Saturn to align for the Christmas Star. We were just a little late getting outside as Jupiter had just made the pass. It was still cool to see how close to each other the planets appeared.
We have had a good time reading, hiking, playing cards, and watching movies on the computer. We are looking forward to our Christmas holidays with our families!
