Nice panorama. I looked up where these shots were taken just for grins.

Cave Creek used to be one of my favorite places in the desert north of the metro area in the 1960's but I am finding that I don't recognize anything on maps of the area now. What was Cave Creek was less than a square mile of buildings with a 2 lane road connecting Scottsdale Rd. and Cave Creek Rd. Both of those road were 2 lanes for about 25 miles of desert north of the metro area at the time. There were a couple of steakhouse restaurants and a gas station in between Cave Creek and Carefree. Most of the road to Bartlett Lake looked like the gravel path in your second image.
