Around Aguila AZ

We left the resort for two days this week for a geocaching adventure. Our goal was the Eagle Eye Road with its 250 geocaches. The bonus was visiting the AZ communities of Aguila and Wickenburg. Come along as I share some of the desert scenery.

A cache was located near this old abandoned mine


This lizard stayed still long enough to get his photo.
We also saw quail, a coyote, a jackrabbit but...
all were too fast for the camera


Another mine photo


A natural bridge in the distance! Getting close to sunset.


Of course there was a cemetery cache.
It was so interesting, it will get its own post.


The birds sitting along the roof peak just begged for a photo.


A Highway Patrol stopped by to see how we were doing.
We chatted a bit about geocaching. 
Then I asked if he would be willing to pose with a travel bug
I picked up the day before. The TB's request was to be photographed with
my favorite law enforcement officer. Don't even know this officer's  name,
but he was a good sport.


A view from one of the caches.
Several days of high air pollution makes for 
breathing problems.


The algae colors on the rock got my attention.


A bridge over a wash. The wash is a favorite 
with quads owners.


I could not figure out why holes would be drilled or bored
into these boulders along another wash.
