We spent several days in the desert west of Phoenix. On the Gila River south of the Buckeye Hills we found many petroglyphs on boulders marking the top of what may have been the ancient river bank. 
We camped at El Dorado Hot Springs and enjoyed the waters and good people that we met there. We seem to meet the great folks when soaking at hot springs, and El Dorado was no exception. On New Years evening Joanie and I took the cold plunge to renew our membership in the Polar Bear Club. We met Dave, Lisa and Lisa, they joined us in taking the plunge. Not quite as cold as Boulder Reservoir, but the contrast between the hot and cold pools was significant. Dave and his wife Lisa were just passing through, but we got to enjoy single Lisa's company during several soaking sessions. We also enjoyed visiting with Bill next door at Casa Blanca Hot Springs. Bill and Camilla developed El Dorado, then sold it to the current owners several years ago.
