On Wednesday, Barbara and I dropped Ellie off at the groomer to get a bath, brush, nails trimmed, and teeth brushed. While Ellie was getting cleaned up, we checked out the rock formations surrounding Sedona. If you have ever been to Sedona Arizona you know about the beautiful rock formations that surround the town. TheseContinue reading “Sedona Rocks”

The Grand Canyon
This past Tuesday, Barbara, Ellie, and I travelled north to the Grand Canyon. Even though Barbara and I have been here before, numerous times, we never seem to get tired of it. In fact, I have spent close to 50 days in the Grand Canyon and have studied it a lot. On this trip, weContinue reading “The Grand Canyon”
Great Blue Heron
In 1976, when I was a senior in high school, I took a wildlife management course. At that time, the Great Blue Heron was on the endangered species list. But today, they’re doing well. In fact, just about every place Barbara and I travel to, I see at least one of these magnificent creatures. ThisContinue reading “Great Blue Heron”
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”
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”
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”
Mt. Hood Railroad
A few weeks ago we took a ride on the Mt. Hood Railroad. The scenery along the way was not as scenic as we had anticipated, but the ride was very enjoyable. The train cars were very comfortable and we enjoyed the relaxing ride in the company of our friends Keith and Janice. At theContinue reading “Mt. Hood Railroad”
