Taken this spring as the saguaros bloom near my winter home at the base of the Superstition Mountains. One of my favorite hikes to the mountain. It was one of those dramatic light days with high winds as the storm moving in.

This is an early morning view of the Superstition Mountains taken from the Treasure Loop Trail in Tonto National Forest. The brittlebush where out in full bloom along the trail to the mountain.
As always, thanks so much for stopping by.

The legend of the Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine centers around the Superstition Mountains. According to the legend, a German immigrant named Jacob Waitz discovered a mother lode in the Superstition Wilderness and revealed its location on his deathbed in Phoenix in 1891 to Julia Thomas, a boarding-house owner who had taken care of him for many years. Several mines have been claimed to be the actual mine that Waitz discovered, but none of those claims have been verified- Wikipedia

Lost Dutchman Blvd dead-ended with a traffic barrier where the tarmac ends and the dirt road began. At least that's what it used to be 10 years ago! The dirt road has been closed and abandoned. Appears to have seen some floods over the years.

Superstition Mountain
Pinal County, Arizona
Winter 2019
To give some perspective to the scale, there are four climbers near the top of the mountain just under the Moon to the left.
How can I be sure?
When your intrusion is my illusion
How can I be sure?
When all the time you changed my mind
I asked for more and more
How can I be sure?
When you don't give me love
You give me pale shelter
You don't give me love
You give me cold hands
And I cannot operate on this failure
When all I want to be is
Completely in command.
