Three weeks in the West, part 14
This will be quick.
On June 8, we left our campsite near the Village of Oak Creek and went to Oak Creek itself. We walked along the trails on the northern banks, saw the typically grand view of Cathedral Rock (you might recognize it, even if you haven't been to Arizona), and then we drove to the base of that very same butte.
I felt quite stiff after the previous day's camel ride, but my Lady Friend shot up the side of the butte like a pro. I hung back and focused on the prickly pear flowers and agave, then searched the plateau for her (she's in the lower right in a yellow shirt).
From there, we went to Ravenheart Coffee, which we were amused to discover has one other location... out here in suburban Chicago. We kicked around there for a bit, then took in another sunset near the airport mesa. And that's that.
