Thunderbird Conservation Park

I'm out in Glendale, Arizona because my elderly mother passed away the day after Christmas.  Thunderbird Conservation Park is a place she loved, so I've been fortunate enough to do several short hikes since I've been here.  It's a gorgeous natural conservation area, but I am not used to hiking with so many other people and sharing the trail with numerous mountain bikers.  Nevertheless, it's good to get out into the Sonoran Desert once again.

Nice to see the Sonoran desert.

I'm really sorry to hear about your mother's dying, Packrat. I'm flying to San Diego later this week to visit my 86-year-old father who has entered hospice care and is not much longer for this world, either. My sincere condolences.

Much appreciated, Scott. I know what you're going through; it's hard when an elderly parent is not well and lives across the country. My best wishes for you both.
