Continue reading →: The one that got away
Unfortunately, despite our many trips to the Mogollon Rim looking for animals, we just haven’t seen that many. I don’t know where they are, but they just aren’t here. It’s rut season here on the mountain, so the bull elk are collecting their harems. We did just see a small…

Continue reading →: Mushroom Foraging
Since the first time I tasted a porcini just outside of the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, I was hooked. The flavor of a porcini is like none other. Fresh, fried in butter it melts in your mouth with a umami elegance and buttery nuttiness. It’s the best mushroom…

Every once in awhile you come across something you really want to share. Point in case, my friend, Dave. Dave, is like my dog… in a good way (I do love my dog, Journey, by the way, and Journey adores Dave – she has good taste.). I mean that in…

Continue reading →: Seattle, WA
We were just in Washington state. We haven’t been in probably a decade. It made me start to realize that irritating trait older people have… ‘I remember when’, ‘You’re too young too remember’, etc. Yes, it’s true we are young to be retired, but here we are… we never won…

We are always on the lookout for a nice place to relax and have lunch. It makes for a great little outing in a tranquil, peaceful environment. It keeps us sane and stress free from life’s stress inhibitors. So when a Firefighter friend mentioned this cascading stream just outside of…

Blasphemy, I know! Sedona has stunning views, no doubt. But there is something real and genuine about Flagstaff. What’s not to like in city that is littered with start up breweries and coffee roasteries. Flagstaff has more boutique breweries (NOT affiliated with any big beer company) than anyplace I…

What’s with this weather? Just when you think it’s time to plant tulips… or at least a garden; take off the long underwear and bring the shorts and t-shirts out of storage… NOT. We got SNOW! Ok, it’s true. It didn’t come down for very long… or very much. But…

Each National Park has it’s highlight. For Yosemite it’s El Capitain; for Yellowstone it’s Old Faithful. Some may argue their favorite sites for each park… or favorite of the Parks. One of my favorites is Mesa Arch. I always think Mesa Arch is in Arches National Park… but it’s actually…
