Hiking to Romero Pools (near Tucson)

 We drove down to the Tucson area to hike in the Santa Cataline Mountains and visit Romero Pools.

There was still a bit of water in the pools, since it isn't quite summer yet.

During part of the hike, I got a bit overheated and needed to stop and find some shade to sit, and then head back. Steve hiked a bit further before he turned around, since I felt ok enough to start heading back on my own (and I new he would catch up with me since I was going slow on my return).

Jeeping at Horseshoe Lake and Dam

 The weather was beautiful today, so we decided to head to Horseshoe lake and dam, which is northeast of Cave Creek, AZ.

There was quite a bit of water coming out of the dam.

On the way back, we drove through seven springs and played in the river.

There were a few flooded areas that we needed to cross.

We finally reached drier ground!

We saw some vines of wild cucumber (not edible) growing
