Mexico - only 1 more trip hopefully

Just a couple of shots from my last trip down to Nogales - actually saw a group prepare to cross the border.  The gentleman here was doing the "Arpaio Dance"

Devil's Chasm 2 day hike

Sorry I haven't posted in so long.  What can I say - I've been lazy. No excuse.

A couple of weeks ago I went on a adventure with Gilbert Zermeno and a bunch of his videographer buddies to produce a show that will be airing somewhere in the near future called Lost Arizona.  This show will show its audience the mystery and magic of civilizations of ancient Arizona long since lost and forgotten.  "Z" invited me to go on this trip which took us out about 30 miles East of Roosevelt Lake (North East of Globe).  After 22 miles on a dirt road and driving through Cherry Creek - we reached our destination.  The trail itself was a little less that 2 miles. But the time it took to complete the trail - there and back.  12 hours.  The first day as we backpacked in we only got about .7 miles!  After that we decided to drop the gear set camp and leave our stuff there for the hike the next day.  We woke up in the morning and after about 2 hours of ascending waterfalls - treacherous 1500 foot dirt mounds we finally made it to the lost civilization of the Ancha Indians.  The cliff dwellers build the ruins in about 1300 and only stayed there for about 25 years.  but their building remains.

Payson night.....a starry one indeed.....

For the Longest time I have wanted to get out of the valley and take some photos of the night sky....I really need an intevelometer, but can't afford one at the moment, but this photo really gives you the idea of how many stars are truly out there! This photo was taken at f/2.8 ISO 1600 at 30 seconds....I ran it through noise ninja and did a small color correction to get rid of the orange tungsten looks of the trees a bit.
