Tuesday was another blue-sky day in Arizona so, being Robert's turn to plan the Foursday activity, we drove to Saguaro Lake, a half hour drive North of Mesa. It was 23 degrees C, a perfect day to sit and relax on a slow moving pontoon boat and enjoy the scenery.
We boarded the Desert Belle for a 1.5 hr narrated cruise of Saguaro Lake.
We chose the upper deck.
Now use your imagination. Can you see the Elephant?
Not hard to see why they call this Saguaro Lake.
Apparently a Saguaro cactus develops it's "arms" at around 60 years of age
and most live well over 150 years. Typical for Mesa, everybody is well over 60 in this crowd.

Saguaro Lake is very busy during the summer months. Shipwreck Rock located is several hundred feet from shore and got it's name from numerous encounters with various forms of watercraft. Despite being well marked with lighted buoys, some boaters still manage to run into this large immovable object, especially after dark.
The locals call it the "Budwiser Effect"

After the cruise we checked out the local park and public beach access to the lake.
This reminds me of Lac La Nonne says Yvonne!
Let's have another Margarita says Sandi.

Not much left of the Salt River downstream of the Stewart Mountain Dam.
Awesome views.
