Coral Pink Sand Dunes SP, Kanab, Utah
April 1, 2017

This sounded like an interesting state park to see, so took Punkin for a ride one day to check it out.  The campground was rustic (no utilities at sites), but if you have fun toys (dune buggies, ATVs, etc.) , it looks like it could be a lot of fun. What this SP needs though is Lake Michigan ;-)










Punkin had fun leading the way

Grand Staircase / Escalante NM, Utah



Coral Pink Sand Dunes SP, Utah

March 31 - April 5, 2017



There is so much to see here in southern Utah and it's really a beautiful area.  Today was a driving tour of different stops in the Grand Staircase / Escalante NM, which meant back-tracking south on Hwy 89.





















Took a 12-mile ride down Cottonwood Canyon in the GSE also, but got tired of the washboard road.

















Zion National Park, Utah

March 30, 2017

The end of March brings a move to another state and a goodbye to Arizona after 3+ months. The first stop in Utah is a campground in Kabab in the southwest.  Seems like a good base for 10 days in order to see some National Parks, National Monuments, etc as well as time to check out another travel trailer without a slide and is considered an actual 4-season trailer with better insulation, bigger fresh water tank for dry camping, etc.  I took the ride to St George, Utah to look at the model I previously saw in Mesa, AZ; however, this model has chairs instead of a dinette, which I think I would like better. I told the salesman that I'm in Utah for a month, so I have some time to decide.  Nothing is really wrong with the Grand Design Imagine, but the slide malfunctioning is always in the back of my mind. Plus I'm a little leery of a couple of repairs I had done by mobile RV techs.  No rush in a decision, and as usual, saving money is always better.  We'll see.

The first NP to get a visit was Zion.  Loved it! So colorful.  Every direction had something to see. Some scenes from the drive into the first stop. 

The first stop was Checkboard Mesa. The patterns are caused by wind and sand.

Pictures at the different stops thru the Park.  I went on Good Friday, so was not able to stop at all of the lookouts or find a parking space for a shuttle ride into the main canyon.  Maybe next time.


 Interesting to see a large depression on the hill.  How does the rock above it stay in place?
























This was a long tunnel to go thru. They stop the traffic for RVs because they have to drive down the center of the tunnel.  Price is currently $15 to drive an RV thru the tunnel.  The next picture is one of a handful of windows thru the tunnel, but you can't stop to look out.

Wupatki NM & Sunset Crater, Flagstaff, Arizona
March 22, 2017

There sure is a lot to see around Flagstaff, so today was another 1-hour drive to Flagstaff to do the driving tour thru Wupatki National Monument and Sunset crater.  Hikes into the crater are not longer allowed here either.  There are a few ruin sites to visit here also.




One display in the visitor center showed the earthquake you can create.  I only stepped on it, but you could jump to really see the spike.
A lot of volcanos in the San Francisco Peaks in this area of Flagstaff.

Grand Canyon NP, Arizona


March 21, 2017





With some warmer temperatures moving into northern Arizona, it seemed like Wednesday would be a good day to take a 2-hour drive up to the south rim of the canyon and mark another park off of my bucket list.  Since it is Spring break for some Arizona students, it was busy. There was only one overlook that I could not find a place to park, and the visitor center and village on the west end of the rim drive was also skipped. 4-6 parking lots and all full.  That’s OK because I would have only had a bite to eat and maybe looked for a sweatshirt or T-shirt before heading on the 2-hour drive back to Homo’lavi SP and Punkin.  It’s a shame that most parks do not allow dogs anymore.  Yes, dogs are still allowed, but not on trails, so it’s vehicle and/or parking lot only for pets.

According to a Pink Jeep Tour Guide that I eavesdropped on, the below are class IV rapids.
























Two Guns & the Apache Death Cave, Arizona at Diablo Canyon


March 20, 2017





Also on the way back to the campground from Meteor Crater, I stopped at Two Guns, Arizona. There is a abandoned KOA campground and Shell gas station located here, but there are two more interesting subjects on this site.




The first is the site of the Apache Death Cave.  There are many superstitions related to this cave and the entire area is considered to be cursed. In 1878, Apaches raided two Navajo camps on the Colorado River, killing everyone except three girls.  The Apaches hid in the cave, located in Diablo Canyon. Navajo scouts discovered the cave where the Apache were hiding, killed the guards and started a fire in the ravine. The Apache had no water to stop the fire, and in desperation, slit the throats on their horses and tried to use the blood to put out the fire. The Apaches blocked the entrance to the cave with the carcasses of their horses, but they were doomed. The following day, the Navajo went into the cave and found corpses of 42 Apache warriors. The entrance to the cave looked to treacherous, so I didn't explore (neither did a guy I met there who was looking for the cave also.

Secondly are the remains of an original tourist trap located on the site. The man who ran sold Apache skulls he found in the cave, short the owner of the land he leased, opened a small zoo and was mauled by mountain lions and was bitten by a Gila monster. After a fire on the property, and a lawsuit with the widow of the property, he left soon afterwards and the property has declined since then.



 Diablo Canyon



Walnut Canyon NM, Arizona
March 20, 2017

On the way back to the campground from Meteor Crater, I stopped at the Walnut Canyon National Monument. I only did the short rim walk since I wanted to get back to Punkin at the camper. There were warning signs about the hike down into the canyon saying that the walk down was optional but the walk up was mandatory.  I did see two rangers helping a couple back up from the bottom of the canyon.







Meteor Crater, Arizona
March 20, 2017

I splurged ($16 admission) and went to Meteor Crater near Winslow. This was a fascinating stop and actually did a walking tour (approximately ½ mile out & back) with a guide.  The crater was the first confirmed, and best maintained, meteor site in the world.  The crater itself is still privately owned. The soil, if you would call it that, immediately around the crater was pulverized and all soil and rocks have become magnetized by the impact.






The San Francisco Peaks from the crater.




 Cabin for the original crater owner who searched for the meteor and minerals.
 Views from the crater. The guide said the rock out cropping's were not caused by the impact, but were remnants from when this area was under the ocean (Pangea?)




A single engine Cessna crashed in the meteor, pilot and passenger both survived, the pilot with a broken back, but according to the guide, was able to pull the passenger out of the crash.  Both went thru many months of recovery.  The only wreckage remaining in the crater is a wing.

The crater is also used for NASA astronaut training. Fun fact: The final scene in the movie Starman was filmed here.  The guide pointed out the path were Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen ran down into the crater.  Tourists are no longer allowed to hike down into the crater for preservation purposes.

Winslow Arizona
March 19, 2019

What kind of tourist would I be if I didn’t look for the corner in Winslow that was made famous in “Take It Easy” by the Eagles.  Found it! But I just took pictures of the statues (no selfies).  Eagles music is playing on the street and the two stores I walked into, besides being the usual tourist traps, also carry some Eagles memorabilia.






Homo’lovi State Park, Arizona
March 18-24, 2017

Figures. A snowfall in Show Low on the day I’m supposed to drive up to Winslow, AZ. 40 MPH winds, but thankfully it was a short 2-hour drive. I just drove slowly and let people pass me.

The visitor center at the park has some displays on the historical significance of the area.







Mormon Sunset Cemetery





Homo’lavi SP is home to two different sets of ruins. Both ruins are not excavated well but you can tell where some of the rooms were located as well as being able to find some pottery pieces, which are against the law to remove.

Homo’lavi Ruins I












Homo’lavi Ruins II







Pottery pieces I found (I left them there)
Pottery pieces found by others at some point in time

On the way to Homo'lavi II, there are open range cattle and burros.

Holbrook and Pintail Lake, Arizona
March 14, 2017

Today was a trip up to Holbrook, Arizona to see the Navajo Country Historical Society. A good portion of Route 66 runs through Arizona, and Holbrook is one of the cities.

The courthouse itself was the original location for some shady sheriffs and also the site of the jail, which was another not-inviting looking jail. The jail was last used in 1976.





 Sheriffs


There was some information on the Navajo, but the museum itself was more historical than anything, with old photos, vending machines, clothing, etc. The rooms were dedicated to a specific topic such as the courtroom, judge’s chambers, court clerk and Pony Express.
 Mexican artifacts
Samples of different brands used in the past




 Up the stairs to the courtroom, judges and clerks chambers, court filings, etc
 Bench with different poses of farmers
 Must have been a rowdy crowd back then :-)

 Judge's chambers

 Pony express
Law books and old office typewriters, mimeograph & copy machines and cash registers
On the way back from Holbrook, down AZ-77, I decided to do a short hike in the Sitegreaves National Forest to Pintail Lake, located in Show Low, AZ.










Apache Museum, Fort Apache & the Kinishba Ruins, Arizona
March 13, 2017

Decided to do some history things today, so took a ride to the Apache History Museum. No photos allowed inside, but I took one anyway because the ceremony garments were interesting.  The garments are worn during a 4-day ceremony when the young Apache girl becomes of age.  She is sponsored by a married couple, but the display only had the girl’s and the female sponsors garments.




On the grounds were the museum is located is also the site of Fort Apache. Some of the buildings were closed, but the Theordore Roosevelt School is still in use and the adjuncts office is now the post office.

 That's an odd place for a window.

The admittance to the museum also includes access to the Kinishba Ruins, which were about a 10-minute drive away. The Kinishba Ruins were designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964 and are managed by the White Mountain Apache Tribe with assistance by the Hopi and the Pueblo of Zuni.

I saw some horses which I am guessing belong to the Apache because I haven’t heard about any wild horses located in this area.






















Payson and Tonto NF, Arizona
March 11, 2017
Today was expected to be a dreary, rainy day, so instead of doing a long drive or hike, I took a shorter drive to Payson, Arizona and then into the Tonto National Forest.

The historical downtown area of Payson

I couldn’t get a good picture of the truck because of the reflection in the windows, so instead I took a picture of a picture.

Who knew Coots had such long legs! Some other ducks, not sure what they are, but the males had a white stripe on top of their heads.


Petrified Forest NP, Arizona

March 9, 2018



Took an hour or so drive up to the Petrified Forest National Park. I did a few of the short hikes around the different areas. First stop was as the Rainbow Forest and Museum.

















The base of this tree was almost 6' high


The next stop was the Crystal Forest.



















Further along the route was the Agate Bridge, formed by a fallen tree that has also turned to stone. The small building was originallay a contact stations, and then a restroom, but is now just a shelter.

The last and final stop was the Painted Desert

Fool Hollow SP, Arizona


March 7 - 17, 2018

Time to start working my way north in order to get to South Dakota by June to change my residency.  The first stop is the Fool Hollow SP in Show Low, AZ. The days are scheduled to be in the 50-60 degree range with cold nights in the 30’s. Looks like the furnace will get a work out at night.



The four hour drive up to Show Low saw the landscape change from cactus to Ponderosa and Pinyon Pines.  This is a great campground and the sites on the Red Hair loop are not close together and I can’t see the sites across the way because of a tree area with the shower house.






 Punkin spotted some rabbits on the very first walk towards the lake.





Lake Pleasant Regional Park, Arizona
February 25 - March 6, 2018

Some sights from around the park.  I also did a 2 1/2 mile (each way) hike with Punkin.  He did pretty well for his first longer hike except after he waded into the lake, he did a nut run and pulled me right off my feet.  Little shit.






On February 28, 2018 I was up early enough to catch the sunrise and heard the unmistakable sound of hot air balloons.

The second one wasn't getting enough lift, so instead of coming over the hills, he came down the campground road in between two hills.

The second one was still having problems. According to a sheriff I spoke to later, he was watching also 'just in case'. The second one actually bounced on the island and then seemed to get the lift he needed.
Some March 3, 2018 brought a short hike into Pipeline Canyon.



Couldn't tell what kind of bird was on the cactus. Some type of hawk I think. No nut runs on the beach this time from Punkin, but he did have a new type of footing to walk over (bridge access).  I let him take his time and sniff his way across.


Wickenburg, Arizona
March 2, 2018

I took a short ride to Wickenburg to look at some of their street art.  Sometimes, you just have to do something to get away from the campground































Liked the lamp posts that had cowboy hats. :-)


Lost Dutchman SP Hike, Apache Junction Arizona
February 24, 2018

I met up with my friend Patti's sister Nancy and her husband Steve for a little hike at Lost Dutchman and then lunch.  It's probably been 30-40 years since we've seen each other.





Phoenix out in the distance on a dusty day.




We left the dogs in the camper while we went to lunch.  Such sad faces!

 eople can ride their horses to the restaurant and enjoy the food & music (music on weekends).

Queens and Salt River Canyons Arizona
February 21, 2017

With no real plans, Eileen found a map for the Apache Trail, so we decided to take the drive, but there is a 40-mile section of road that’s a real hair raiser.  One lane, dirt, and a lot of switch backs. So we decided to drive as much as possible, but once we passed Globe and Superior Arizona, we took a ride up to Fool Hollow SP in Show Low Arizona to check out the site I have booked in a couple of weeks. TREES! It’s got trees! Can’t wait to get there, and hopefully the weather will turn a bit in two weeks. They have been getting some snow so I’ll be keeping an eye on the weather.  The ranger said it’s usually not too bad, but they are coming in to their windy season.

The road to Show Low brought a wonderful surprise, the Queen’s Canyon and Salt River Canyon, which is a teasing preview of what the Grand Canyon can be.

also The first stop and second stops were at Picketpost and Buckboard City.
Sights from Picketpost including some trail riders who actually happened to be from Wisconsin.






The Arizona Trail passes thru here also.





Just an interesting house.
Queen's Canyon ~ no hiking just a pull off on the side of the road.

The switchbacks thru Salt River Canyon. They were an easy grade though. Maybe 4-6%

Salt River Wild Horses 
February 20, 2017

Eileen, Dave and I moved up to the KOA Campground in Apache Junction.  I’m not a fan of KOAs, but they already had their reservations, so I cancelled the one I had at another CG and moved to the KOA with them. 







On Tuesday, I had made plans with Alice from the Women’s RV forum to look for the Salt River Wild horses.  Alice lives in Scottsdale and has found the horses before, so she Eileen and I spend a few hours looking for them.  We did about a mile hike around the section of river in the Butcher Jones day use area where Alice has seen them before. We didn't find any, which made me sad.  We did see coots and a bald eagle though. The only evidence of horses was single hoof print I found.  Monday was a holiday (President’s Day), so the horses may have been up in the hills until they knew any crowd of people were gone










Bald eagle on the small beach area. Every time he flew overhead, the coots would get nervous, running across the water for a fast exit if needed.














RV friends Eileen (left) and Alice.







Alice taking a break while Eileen and I continued just a little further around the cove.



 I was so looking forward to seeing them, but she knew of two other places where they could be. The next stop at Coons Bluff, didn’t have any horses either. At third stop, a group of people on horseback, said there was a mother and brand-new foal about 50 yards from the end of the parking lot.  We didn’t get out of the car because Alice’s’ hip was bothering her. As luck would have it,  just as we were ready to turn on the highway, I spotted a small band of bachelors across the street. The grey seemed to be in charge.  The other two got a little spooked when a car drove by. Once I moved the car, the grey proceeded to lead the way across the street and they continued on their way.




We continued on the Fond de Sutton day use area and found a few more bachelors near the road and across the river. This small bachelor band was along the road. The grey was calm enough to pose for a picture.






Peek-a-boo!
This road runner was along the river and not shy.  Came right up to me "got food?".


Catalina SP, Tucson, Arizona
February 11 – 17, 2018

RVing friend Eileen and here husband Dave from Wisconsin are in Arizona for a while getting away from the cold and snow.  We are both camped near Marana, AZ but I’m in the SP and they are in a resort because the hubby like the amenities that an RV park offers.  We have been getting together during the week, doing some sightseeing.  Their car was in the shop with transmission problems, so I did the driving for a couple of days and took them to Saguaro NP. We also drove to Old Tucson which supposedly had something to do with movies in the old days, but we didn’t pay the admission fee.  While driving around that day, we stumbled on the International Wildlife Museum and home of Safari Club International.  On other days we did some short hikes around the SP.

Sabino Canyon, Arizona
February 17, 2018 
After the mission, and since there was still a lot of daylight, Eileen, Dave and I took a ride up Sabino Canyon in Tucson. After two days of rain, the river was really flowing, even covering the roads in some spots.









Sabino Canyon's version of Snoopy Rock.  The actual Snoopy formation is up at Sedona.



Mission Del Bosque AZ
February 16, 2018












There was also a grotto on the neighboring hillside, that was not part of the Mission. The grotto is dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes and Saint Bernadette.




Saguaro NP, Tucson

February 14, 2018



I have been to this section of Saguaro NP before, and was hoping to get to the eastern section, but since Eileen and Dave had not been there, we took the short drive.








Old Tucson



After Saguaro, we then continued on to Old Tucson, which was set up like a western town and movie set.  We only walked around the gift shop and didn’t pay the entrance fee to get in. We also made a stop at a view point that had two old Core of Engineer buildings, but no signs to say exactly what they were.




We didn't go to the building on the left but it was only about 10' x 10'.  The building on the right is are the vault toilets.

No idea what the small building in the let photo is.  It was only about 6' x 8' and had a solid cement type of long base/stool in it.
RV friend Eileen and husband Dave and an Ocotillo in bloom (orange)


International Wildlife Museum

The final stop of the day was the International Wildlife Museum. Interesting place with just about every type of deer, elk, antelope, and bird displays.  It is also the home of Safari International.














The giant deer (extinct) was fascinating. Looked like a larger version of white tail deer known today but the antlers were larger and more similar to a moose.

2/14/2018

Ran to Walgreens, and found some whimsical art in the strip mall parking lot.




Eileen, Dave & I did a hike up one of peaks into the management are for big horn sheep. A volunteer we ran into said they had all moved over to another peak and that area is closed for calving season.















Romero Ruins Trail, Catalina SP, Arizona
February 12, 2018

Took a short hike around Catalina SP with RV friend Eileen and her husband Dave to look at the ruins found in the park.









Rhyolite rocks were actually more purple than pink

Alamo Lake SP, Arizona

February 7, 2017



Took a ride one day to check out Alamo Lake SP about an hour away to see if I would ever want to camp there in the future.  The park itself is nice, which I’ve come to expect from Arizona State Parks, but it’s a 30 mile ride off of Hwy-60 itself, and no stores or any other things to see in the area, so I probably would not camp there in the future unless I really want to sit around and do nothing.  Not yet, I want to be doing touristy things right now.

Once Punkin figured out the noise from the small waves, he decided to walk in and take a drink









Spotted some wild burros on the hill





Parker Dam Burros, Arizona

February 3, 2018



My neighbors from Wyoming in the Brenda RV Park mentioned that there are wild burros on the California side of the Colorado River near the Parker Dam.  I took a ride up there one day and say about 6 burros on a golf course fairway, but there was no place to pull over and take picture, but closer to the dam, I did find 3 of them on the side of the road at a turn out.










Hwy 60, Salome, Arizona

February 2, 2018



Short ride up AZ-60 to Salome just to see what is there.



Imperial Wildlife Refuge, Yuma, Arizona
February 1, 2018


My little Zorro buddy went to the Rainbow Bridge on January 18, 2018 after having a small seizure in the morning.  I had to take him to Yuma, because it was the only vet that could get him in on short notice.  I think he was ready to go, because it was very quick. 


Since I had to go back to Yuma to pick up his ashes, and to get a short update for Punkin, I decided to check out this wildlife refuge on the way back.  Of course, I didn’t see any wild life except for a blue heron and a road runner, but after sitting around the camper for 3 weeks, I needed to get out and do something.



 Burro trails







Palm Canyon, Kofa National Wildlife Refuge, Arizona
January 17, 2018


While in Brenda Arizona for a month, visiting the ladies from the Women’s RV forum that are staying in Quartzite, Alice (one of the ladies) and I took a short ride down Hwy 95 to do the short hike to the Palm Canyon in the refuge.

































After the canyon, Alice and I went to lunch at Silly Al's in Q(uertzite) and did a little snooping around the town.  We found the Hi Jolly monument in the cemetery.  He imported camels to Q, but they didn't work out well because the camels are used to sand, and the Arizona desert is a lot of volcanic rocks.








We also found the oldest known Ironwood tree as well as stopping in at the little museum in town.
















 In the museum was information about a Saguaro with the most known arms, 48 in all, including a picture of the Saguaro when Haley's Comet passed.  The remains of the Saguaro were also on the museum property.







Superstition Mountains & Lost Dutchman SP
January 11, 2018


I've been trying to book into the Lost Dutchman SP in Arizona.  It's a hard park to get into because it's very popular and books early.  Instead I decided to take a ride to check out the park and see what's so special.  Other than having nice views and being at the base of the Superstition Mountains, I wasn't overly excited about it.  It reminded me of Picacho Peak SP, just more crowded.







I first toured the small Lost Dutchman Museum. Due to fires, the building are replicas of those that existed on this site originally was used as a movie set for many movies when it was originally call the Apacheland Movie Ranch.

















Hummers at the Campground

January 9, 2018



Since it rained last night and a cold front moved in, it's a good day to try to get things done around the trailer (dry out rugs and chairs, update the blog, and if I feel like it, a quick run to the grocery store, but sometimes, just sitting and watching humming birds is more fun.








Out & About Near Tucson, Arizona
January 9, 2018

I planned on only going to the Sweetwater Wetlands near Tucson today, but since it was a warm sunny day, and rain is expected, I did more than planned.  Besides making a run to Best Buy, on the way back to the campground, I decided to check out the west side of Saguaro National Park, which then led me to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.

The first stop was at Sweetwater Wetlands.  I was hoping to find the bobcat, which was spotted there last week by blog I follow, but it has either moved on or was hiding in the shade since it was quite warm. So, I just saw ducks, but it was a nice little walk for an hour or so, stopping to take pictures.

The water treatment basins were pretty dry, but they ducks found some water in them.

Two sections of the trail around the wetlands.




After stopping at Best Buy for a tripod and flash drive, as I was heading back west on I-10, I took the exit for Saguaro NP.  Since this park is split in two (an east and west), this side of the park is called Saguaro West – Tucson Mountain District.  I didn’t get any walking done, except around the visitor center, because when I left the visitor center,  












Jumping Cholla ~ I can't tell if that is some type of nest


 Didn't see anything thankfully.  It's been a little to cold for them


Javalina wash trail around the visitor center


I headed further south on the road, hoping to find another trail, like the ones I saw on the way in.  Instead the road led to the Arizona-Senora Desert Museum.  I decided to go to the museum instead of having to come back another day.

Tonto Natural Bridge Monument Arizona
January 5, 2018

I took a day trip to the Tonto Natural Bridge.  Good thing I wasn't planning on doing a lot of hiking, because only one trail was open, and I could not also go directly under the bridge because that was closed also.














On the way back to the campground, I did stop and so a short walk in the Tonto National Forest on the Arizona Trail.




Watson Lake & Dells, Prescott Arizona
January 3, 2018

I’ve driven through this area a few times on the way to Prescott to run errands and finally took some time to stop, walk and take pictures.

Whiskey Row, Prescott Arizona
January 3, 2018

At the suggestion of friends Kimm and Mark, I spent a day wandering around Prescott, Arizona on Whiskey Row.  Mostly touristy types of stores, but historical markers showed the history of the town, including the fire house, stable (which is now an empty lot) and saloons.  Good thing I do not have a home anymore, because there were a lot of horse decorations that I may have bought if I still hand walls where I could hang them.

Two paintings that I really liked in one of the stores.
