Shaka Cave
The beginning of the trail is very wide, flat and easy. It heads toward the beautiful Superstition Mountains and goes through a zigzag gate at the fence for the Tonto National Forest. After this, we came to the Lost Goldmine Trail where some people use this to get to the Wave Cave from Lost Goldmine Trailhead. We did see WC painted on a rock with an arrow left. Instead of turning left, we went straight ahead on a narrow, much less used trail, with zero signage. Continue reading Shaka Cave

A Pair for the Win [HooCam S4 E3]
We needed something we had stored in this building and somehow, the HooCam got knocked and was pointed at the ceiling, so I had to go straighten it up and check the nest. Continue reading A Pair for the Win [HooCam S4 E3]
2021 HooCam S4 E2 Hatch Egg 1
With great hope, we have been watching the parents care for these two great horned owl eggs which we think is their 3rd attempt at a nest this year. Papa Hoo has been bringing food to Mama Hoo faithfully while she incubates the eggs. Yesterday evening Shawn noticed that there was what appeared to be a hole or two in the right side egg.
