Usery Mountain County Park, Mesa, AZ

We finally made it to our favorite park in the Phoenix area: Usery Mountain.

It is one of the many campgrounds owned by Maricopa County.




We call this acrobatic squirrel: Mr. Slinky.  He comes into our campsite slinking along on his belly.
We always see so much wildlife here.
 
Plenty of birds, squirrels, coyotes, and this year a RATTLESNAKE!   We were too busy freaking out to get a picture of the one under our picnic bench.
