I had the best hike this weekend! The trails in Gold Canyon, Arizona are seemingly endless. I was lucky enough to find the  this weekend and it was simply gorgeous. This time of year is a blessing in Arizona. The sky was bright blue and the high was 65 degrees! The total distance is 3.5 miles and the terrain is very manageable. There were families out and about and I even my 56-year-old mother-in-law made it the entire way. There were a lot of little rocks to watch out for but nothing major.  After hiking into the canyon, you are able to view actual petroglyphs that have been there for many, many years. There is a tiny water hole and the view of the city is breathtaking.

It seems to be a sign of the times. People in a state of pre-foreclosure seem to forget, or do not care, that they can't simply take appliances and fixtures out of the homes they are soon to be losing to foreclosure. When these owners take appliances, fixtures and even the air conditioners and such out of these homes, they end up driving down the values in the entire community as the foreclosed home will end up selling for less without these amenities. What to do? If someone, a neighbor,  sees this vandalism going on in their community they can contact the local police and the FBI.Interested in more about this situation, click over to the post we have on Benjamin'com's Blog for the e-mail and phone number where you can report such activity in Arizona. 10/08/2009
