    Last evening, Ingrid and I discussed our travel plans for the rest of the year.  While reviewing the bucket list, we flipped through the scrapbook Ingrid recently completed on our six-week adventure.  What an amazing album!  It brought back memories of some of the fantastic folks we met along the…

    Ah…Spring, my favorite time of year.  As a former flat lander, I love seeing the snow capped mountains in the distance while hiking in seventy plus degree temperatures.  I never get tired of the view. New life and growth are in abundance.  The birds are chirping and busy trying to find…

    Local Attraction

    Alas, we have returned to Colorado.  It has been about two weeks since our return from our six-week RV adventure, and Al and I are already antsy to get back out on the road and explore. The RV is sitting on the side of the house, empty and locked.  She’s…

    My husband and I have definitely lived an interesting life, and I wouldn’t change a thing. Ok, that’s a lie. I’d changed a bunch of things that my older and wiser self now knows, but since going back and doing a repeat isn’t an option, I’m still pretty content with…

  • Oh, what shall we do today?  The Group (Escapees – Boomers) have a few different things planned for today.  Some folks will be hiking, some geocaching, and some attending a little class.  We decide we can never have enough information on Solar panels and batteries, and thus attend the get together…

  • Beautiful Day…

    It’s going to be a beautiful day.  Bear and I are on our morning walk, and yes it’s about 6:30 a.m.  Same time every morning.  That boys internal clock never fails.  The sun is still behind the Superstition Mountain.  There’s a lovely coating of snow near the “Flat Iron”.  Bear and I…

  • Gloomy skies…

    It’s Sunday and we’ve said our good-byes to the “Superstition Square Wheelers”.  What great folks!  It’s cold, at least for Phoenix.  In the 50’s.  It’s raining and the Superstition Mountain is taking on yet another look.  We sit by ourselves in the Group Camp Area at Lost Dutchman State Park…

  • 10 mph….

    How is it we’ve driven over six hours today and still have over a half a tank of gas?  Trust me, it’s not the gas mileage! It’s six thirty in the morning and Bear starts to pace back and forth.  “Come on mom.  I gotta go.”  Al’s still sleeping.  I roll…

  • Oops!

    It’s a new day.  I awake to Bear’s restlessness.  I look at the clock…exactly 6:30.  That dog’s internal clock is spot on…same time every morning, give or take five minutes at the most.  I throw on some clothes and take Bear for his morning walk.  I decide to head up…

  • Usery Reg Park…

    We leave Lake Pleasant a bit reluctantly, but excited to be heading to a new location.  The campground at Usery Regional Park is full and we opt to stay in their overflow lot for $10 a night.  The lot is a paved parking lot located right next to the park entrance. …
