We started out the day, headed to Cave Creek, Arizona for lunch and ran across this establishment below.

We thought, "What a tourist trap" and proceded in for food.  At this point we had a choice:

We decided on the Satisfied Frog for lunch and tried out their Microbrews which were really good!  Here is the front of both buildings.

After lunch, we decided to sit and digest the great food.

On the left are Heather's parents, Linda and Bryan Conner,a and of course us on the right.  While we were sitting I heard this low rumble which sounded like some sort of car and look, holy cow its a Ferrari.

Wow, this is a Ferrari 355 Spider. 19" wheels and a drop-top V12 are enough to get me drueling.  Check out the 47 Ford Street rod behind the top picture!  Maybe this is a cool town...

Well after checking out that sweet car, we headed to Cave Creek Recreational Area for a hike.  We decided to take the 5 mile hike to work off the food and beer from lunch.

Perfect day for a hike, high 60's and a liter of water were all we needed.  The trail was not easy, single track and up and down in elevation. It was worth the 3 hour hike, check out some of these pictures from the hike.

On the left is an old Saguaro, considering Heather is 5'3", this cactus must be 25' tall.  Check out the moon between the arm on the right photo.

Apparently they have stupid people here that try to enter these old mines.  So to follow suit, we stole the sign and went into the mine in search of riches! (JUST KIDDING)
