Bear Claw Poppy Trail

Hello loyal follower(s)

Friday was a fun day for Cyndy and Mr Nut.  We hiked the Bear Claw Poppy Trail with our new hiking friends, Gene and Lynell Anfinson.

Lynell and Gene in the desert that is one-half mile west of Mr Nut's house.  Notice the background is just pure high plain desert.








The Bear Claw Poppy trail is a fairly widely known mountain biking trail in the Southwest.  When we hike the trail we always pick up bicycle parts.   Or in other words there are jumps and steep drop offs along the trail.  Mr Nut has biked the trail in years gone by. today it  would certianly be a misadventure for Mr Nut.
The trail is (if you are smart) down hill, if you start at the top trail-head.  We took the 3.7 mile route plus another half mile to our home.

As you can see the terrain was barren, and when they are not talking, there are no sounds.

Here are Lynell and Cyndy

Again look at the neat horizon, very peaceful.  Mr Nut used to drive his big red SUV into the desert and park it up high and just wander around in the washes.  Time to go home just climb to a high spot so he could see the SUV.


Here are Cyndy, Gene and Lynell.

Time for a late lunch are Mr Nut's home.

The menu was Basic Artisan Bread from the October 14, 2011 blog, and Italian Vegetable Soup from the blog November 27, 2011.

It was a fun four hours


À bientôt,

Mr Nut
