On February 10th Tomorrow we leave the "Supes" (Superstition Mountains at Lost Dutchman State Park) and made the short drive over to Usery Mountain Regional Park...

It was a very short drive of around 13 miles under partly cloudy skies.  About 65 degrees with light winds...

It's kind of sad when we leave a spot where we have been for a couple of week...especially a spot like the Superstition Mountains!  It was nice that we could still see them in the distance!

And a wonderful sunrise over the "Supes" on our first morning!

But here at Usery it's very scenic too....A lot of Saguaro Cactus....all around us!  And the temps have been in the range of 70 degrees!  Nice!

 This big Saguaro is right in our campsite!

And this interesting mountain view is right out our door!

The band through it is volcanic ash from the eruptions at the Superstition Mountains, eons ago....The ash was so hot from the volcano that it welded itself back into solid rock! Then another lava flow over the top of it.  The "Striped Mountain" is a landmark for us....shows us right where our camp is from anywhere in Mesa!

The Arizona Sunsets are spectacular here in Usery!

Really exceptional, like this one!

We are here until February 17th when we move back to Cave Creek Regional Park, where we were snowed on a few weeks ago!  It will be much warmer this time!

Until Next Time!
