Spur Cross Ranch, Cave Creek, Arizona Drone's Eye View
Spur Cross Ranch is the newest addition to Maricopa County's Regional Park System. On January 9, 2001 documents were signed by then Governor Jane Hull for the state of Arizona, Supervisor Jan Brewer for Maricopa County and Mayor Vincent Francia for the town of Cave Creek ensuring the conservation of this 2,154 acre ranch. Spur Cross Ranch is designated a Limited use public recreation and conservation area, Tentative plans include the development of a visitor’s center, restrooms, and a trail system to selected archeological sites.
A prime example of high Sonoran Desert, Spur Cross Ranch incorporates both valley floor and spectacular rock outcroppings rising almost 4,000 feet into the mesas above.
One of the last remaining year-round spring-fed streams in Cave Creek flows through Spur Cross. Its banks are covered with plants and trees, including mesquite, cottonwoods and willows. Abundant water and plant life make this a home to many species of animals including javelina, mule deer, and coyotes. Over 80 species of birds have been observed in this habitat, per Audubon bird counts. Beyond the banks of the stream lies one of the region's densest stands of saguaro cactus. The park contains nearly 90 archaeological sites used by the Hohokam Indians between 700 - 1200 A.D. Hohokam petroglyphs dot the area. Both the Hopi and the Fort McDowell Mohave-Apache Indian communities have identified Spur Cross Ranch as a sacred place.

Seven Springs to Spur Cross Park on trail 4 ladies ride
Laurel, Rebeca, Adrienne, and I got shuttled by Lee the owner of Spur Cross Stables to Seven Springs camp ground. Trail 4 is very hard trail, remote, no services, lots of hike a bike but is one of the most adventurous days on the bike. I love a good day on the bike especially with good bike gal pals. I would highly recommend going with a group plus someone that knows the trail and can navigate it as well. Bring plenty of water and stop by Spur Cross Stables to say hi to Lee.

Arrested!!!
This is an update on the man who feeds the steer on top of the horse trailer...Which in my opinion is reckless endangerment to the steer as there are NO side rails to prevent the steer from falling off!
Well-known Cave Creek resident TC Thorstenson arrested on a number of charges
A well-known resident and business owner in Cave Creek has been arrested for investigation of driving under the influence and assaulting a woman he met at the bar he owns.
TC Thorstenson, faces three counts of DUI, including extreme DUI, with a blood-alcohol count of .15-.20, according to the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.
He also faces one count of indecent exposure and one count of assault, touched to injure, Sheriff's officials said.
His arraignment hearing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m., Monday, March 24, at the Maricopa County Desert Ridge Justice Court in north Phoenix.
According to a court document, just before midnight on March 8, sheriff's dispatch received a call from a woman alleging
~snip~
Thorstenson attempted to remove her clothes and expose himself to her at a home in Cave Creek.
~snip~
Earlier in the night, the woman and a friend had visited Hogs and Horses, a bar in Cave Creek where she was introduced to Thorstenson, who owns the bar and offered her free drinks, according to a court document.
~snip~
After losing track of her friend and not knowing anybody in the bar and repeated offers from Thorstenson to take her back to his house, the report states that, she didn't know anyone in the bar and thought it was probably safe to go with Thorstenson. She told sheriff's officers that once there, he forced himself on her, causing her to run out of the house and call 911.
The woman positively identified Thorstenson as the suspect and told investigators that she never consented to sexual activity, according to the court document.
Shortly after the reported incident, another deputy had pulled over the pick-up truck driven by Thorstenson.
A deputy followed him out of the neighborhood. After pulling off Spur Cross Road and onto Cave Creek Road and eventually pulling into the parking lot of Hogs and Horses down the street, a deputy pulled him over, reporting that Thorstenson immediately stepped out of the truck visibly drunk, according to the court document.
Two crumpled cans of beer with a small amount of beer were found in his truck passenger compartment.
He was arrested on suspicion of DUI, the document says.
