It was good, very fresh and cold. We flew from Chicago, IL --->Newark, NJ--->Zurich, Switzerland! Started the quest with some bakery items and coffee to fuel our journey to Lake Zurich! We walked through the city on route to the lake. Very excited about the clock towers!  The architecture and water was beautiful!

Lost Dutchman State Park! Apache Junction, AZ ⛏

Quest Rating: 🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵 Featured Guests: Jean and Jeff (Mother and Padre lol) Animals Spotted: Birds, lizards, horses Weather: Higher 80/90s. Sunny and clear! #DesertLife Rumor has it there was a lost dutchman who discovered gold in this state park! ⛏ He disappeared and the gold was never found! We got there around 5AM with our hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a lot of water. We got there early to avoid the afternoon heat. I think we were done around lunchtime. We went on each path except the hardest; That path goes all the way to the top of the mountain. I will return one day to do that path, when it is safe to do so. Not during the summer months where I risk overheating and running out of water. The views seen on the hike were beautiful! You can really see the surrounding valley landscape on the trails of this park. My parents asked multiple times during the hike "Are you trying to kill us?" lmao! Im proud of them for being able to complete the hike and explore the park. ...
