• Blizzard

    Ok. That may be pushing it a bit. But we got 2″ in an hour along the Mogollon Rim. It was a virtual blizzard for a short time. Which was a big surprise to us considering we just got back from 3 nights camping at Alstrom Point waiting for a…

  • Fall Colors

    If I were pressed, I would have to say, Fall is my favorite season. While Spring brings flowers, and winter snow… Fall intrigues us with it’s beguiling colors and flirtatious change in season. Winter is coming she tells us… if only. Fields of fallen leaves drop from the trees above…

  • Fawning About

    I adore watching the animals, and when I get to see baby animals it’s all the better. They have this curious sense of newness and wonder that they wear on their faces. Mom dotes on them and protects them from harm… and the baby listens and hastens at her insistence.…

  • Carnero Lake

    I posted some photos here .. https://kritterspix.com/2020/07/31/carneros-sunrise/, from our last visit to Carnero Lake. We enjoyed it so much, we went back for more. While most folks go to a lake to swim, fish, and canoe, we go to relax and watch the animals and the sunset / sunrise, and…

  • Buck Springs

    Buck Springs is one of a number of old cabins littered around Mogollon Rim’s back dirt roads.  There are two standing cabins on this site.  The smaller of the two was built in 1923, while the larger was built in 1946. The cabins found in this area were built by…

  • Chavez Pass

    Arizona is filled with many vast expanses and amazing viewpoints.  The landscape is diverse and varied, with cactus in the south and pine trees in the north.  The land has seen equally disparate travelers, from the Indians that roamed the land hundreds of years ago, to the early European /…

  • Finally… instead of going out taking photos when our schedules allowed it… we decided to go out because there was weather in the forecast.  Sometimes you have to make time for the things that are important to you. Never was that more clear than this week!  I have two friends…

  • Mogollon Rim toward Payson

    We have been to the Mogollon Rim many times.  The ‘Rim’ we frequent is off of SR-87 long Forest Road – 300.  The Mogollon Rim escarpment actually continues for several hundred miles. It passes through some gorgeous country and spectacular views, not to mention a number of lakes.  Bear Lake…

  • All Torn Up

    What have you done during Quarantine? It’s a popular question these days.  For us, we did what we do… and pursued our already scheduled project of adding water hydrants closer to the house. I know.. boring, right?! Well we didn’t think so.  We were more upset by the rationing of…

    Mystery Castle

    Having lived in the Valley for years, we certainly had ample opportunity to visit any number of the many ‘attractions’ that Phoenix offered. Working and traveling for a living, many came to wait until after we retired, such as the Mystery Castle. The Mystery Castle is known for being this…
