Well the rain finally stopped. For the past two days we have had to stay inside because Mother Nature was unhappy and she was dumping a lot of water on us. This morning, I grabbed my camera and Ellie and I took a walk down to the lake. We found a Great Blue Heron, anContinue reading “Lake Conroe”

Mount Lemmon
A few weeks ago, Barbara, Ellie and I wanted to escape the heat of Tucson, so we took a drive, northeast of town, up the Catalina Highway to the highest point in the Santa Catalina Mountains, Mount Lemmon at an elevation of 9,171 feet mean sea level (MSL). Due to the elevation change from theContinue reading “Mount Lemmon”
Arizona Museum of Natural History
A few months ago, Barbara and I traveled from Cottonwood, AZ to Mesa to visit the Arizona Museum of Natural History. This place contains a lot of dinosaur fossils, so it is right up my alley. Something to keep in mind when you see these skeletons. Due to the age of these skeletons, it isContinue reading “Arizona Museum of Natural History”
Radiator Springs
This past Saturday, Barbara, Ellie, and I traveled to Seligman, Arizona. Seligman is advertised as the birthplace of famous Route 66 and Radiator Springs, from the movie Cars. While there we saw The Roadkill Café and some of the Cars movie characters. There isn’t much else there, but it was fun to see. We wouldContinue reading “Radiator Springs”
Red Rock State Park
A few weeks ago, Barbara, Ellie, and I traveled to Red Rock State Park near Sedona, Arizona. We enjoyed the view of the red rocks that surround the park, Owl Creek, that flows through the park, and some wildlife, deer. A few days later, we drove through Owl Creek Canyon where Owl Creek originates. AContinue reading “Red Rock State Park”
The View from Verde Valley
As some of you may have noticed, for several months now, I have not been able to get out and do any serious hiking, take many photos or post to my blog. I have spent most of my time making repairs to the trailer, the weather hasn’t cooperated, and Barbara recently had eye surgery. However,Continue reading “The View from Verde Valley”
Bullards Bar
Late last year, while we were still in California, we visited some friends that we have not seen in a while. While we were visiting Ember and Neal, they told us about Bullards Bar in Sutter County, California. Neal works part time at the reservoir, mostly during the spring, summer, and fall. Bullards Bar isContinue reading “Bullards Bar”
Lake Minden Sunset
Last evening, there were some white, wispy cirrus clouds floating overhead, so just before the sunset, I hiked down to the lake to see if I could capture the clouds and colors of the evening sunset. I used two cameras, with different settings to see how they would turn out. I set the first cameraContinue reading “Lake Minden Sunset”
Lake of the Springs
Over the past few months Barbara and I have been having repairs made to our trailer as well as myself making additional repairs that the manufacturer didn’t do or happened later. It has been a frustrating and difficult time for us and due to this I have not been able to do any hiking andContinue reading “Lake of the Springs”
Indiana Dunes National Park
Last week, Barbara, Ellie and I traveled west to visit the Indiana Dunes National Park. This is a pretty park that is, surprisingly, surrounded by several steel mills. On this day the temperature hovered around 91 degrees with 80% humidity so we didn’t stay around for long. In fact, the last thing we did wasContinue reading “Indiana Dunes National Park”
