The beautiful days of AZ winter are winding down. We have to take advantage of every comfortable day we can (once summer temps hit in May, we don’t spend much time outside anymore). In our quest to do one mini-adventure most weekends, this past Saturday we visited the Sears-Kay ruin – 800 year old Hohokam village remains. This place is in Carefree area of AZ, where I’ve never visited before. The houses and properties en route were just… O-o

I told Scott we had to go back sometimes sans kids just to drive around and gape. This one subdivision had a HUGE stable/arena facility where it looked like homeowners could board their horses right there in the community. And there are gorgeous mountain trails for hiking/riding in this area. Homes in the area are 1.5M plus.

Anyway, here are some pix from our day.

Hiking up – it was COLD (the ruins were at a significantly higher elevation than our house is)! We weren’t dressed for it, hence the huddled look we all have LOL.
