Mark's Scenic Arizona

The Mask = December 27, 2010

It's a short local hike yet with plenty of great scenery

And a whole bunch of adventure for me, including a fall

First photo while at the car
Mmmm, let's see, what is it?
Looks fat enough to be Garfield the cat
Dome Mountain
Turkey Vulture
Quite unexpected, even if it was off-trail
Maricopa Flood Control District tower
A rusted steel shell
Part of the flood control station
Rain catching platform
Drops into the trough and runs into the pipe
Through the pipe and into the tank
Another shot of the tower damage
Just a pile o' rocks
Dome Mountain
The Supes
FR 10 crossing horizontally
More of FR 10 through Bulldog OHV Area
My hiking buddy is in the center
No empty Bud Light this hike, just a Busch
Finally, at The Mask!
The Mask!
Dome Mountain
The Mask!
The Mask!

Almost looks man-made
Fat Barrel cactus
Algae dotting the surface of a stagnant pool
Stagnant pool from another angle
I fell here after taking this photo
Bird droppings or residue of other animal scat?
A finger for comparison sake
Aren't they some stylish socks??
No... the bird couldn't stay on this side!
Curve-billed Thrasher
Garfield's still there, and still fat
Superstition Mountain splendor!
