We stopped here for an overnight
but liked it so much we stayed a second night. As you can see the view from my
sight was terrific.
Lost Dutchman is located quite near Apache Junction, AZ in
the Superstition Mountains. It is a quiet, nicely laid out and well maintained
state park.
One day walking the nature trail we had a Cholla adventure. Scruffy
had apparently gotten to close to a jumping Cholla and ended up with a “pod”
attached to his nose and another on his back. He began to scream; which got my
attention. As I attempted to restrain and quiet him, the pod on his face transferred
to the back of my hand. Anne was wise enough to use his leash to wrap around
the cactus on his back and pull it off and then also to remove the one on my
hand. We used tweezers to remove the needles from both Scruffy and me and
later, Anne. I have included a picture that
I took at a later date so you can see what a jumping cholla looks like.
