The house in Copper Crest has had another offer on it, and now I am having mixed feelings about the sale. Our emotions have been hitting most all corners on the subject of should we buy it our selves, or let it go and travel some more, and settle down later. Is it too late to stop the sale, or do we rush in and buy it now. The thought of a winter home is attractive, but the idea of continuing house expenses during the summer is not. The next few days should get it settled out for us.
The group of us went on another hike nearly two weeks ago, and the goal was hiking 10 miles while summiting Wasson Peak.
Anne-Marie provided transportation to the trailhead for the five of us. The first part of the hike was a climb to get up on the ridge, and we had views on all sides of the mountain. The first picture shows a huge balanced rock on the ridge, and the second is a unique wind carved formation that looks like fingers or toes.
The last long steady climb to the top ridge, if you expand the picture, the saguaro cactus ahead of Maria and Bill is straight, and the slope and steepness of the hill are accurately shown. We met a lone hiker on the trail, and he followed along with us to the top. The picture of todays group on top of Wasson Peak, Myself, Bill, Linda, Maria, and Steve.
Every saddle of the ridge, had views of the valley and beyond, this is looking south towards the RV Park. Linda is looking at a stone build that was built by the CCC, back in the 1930s, I walked around the building, and at first it looked like a jail or something, but a look into a open door and I discovered that it was built to be a restroom.
This is a 360 view from the top of Wasson Peak, with our group tired from the climb, and eating lunch.
A pause for rest in the shade, and not shown well, but there is a abandoned mine shaft close by the trail. It’s amazing that so many mining operations just quit and walked away from these open shafts.
