Summer

Took this pic a couple summers ago in the Big Piney Wy. area.

Celebrating new year with friends in Prescott.

Bib

Well there's that handsome Bob Sutherland.

Mt. Hooker

Satellite photo of Mt. Hooker east of Pinedale Wy. Oh how they differ from Aerial photos. I had an attorney acquaintance that fell to his death from the top of that slab of granite...about 2007.

Heading up to Prescott Az. For New Years.

Tim

One of the trailers in the RV park here in Apache junction was decorated up pretty..... My son Tim and I took a nice hike today....

That last picture

I have a few pictures that won't post clearly because of some pixel issues. That last one posted was one of them.

Near Fremont peak

All's well in Az. I'm still breathing and I haven't heard of any black comets on the way. Off to the chiropractor for another back fix. 68 here today..... Just right

Yet another picture of squaretop

Cloudy and cooler in Apache junction Az today. I checked Pinedale weather earlier. I'll take cool and cloudy over bone chilling cold.....

Bardy

Took this pic of Bardy Bardin a few years back. We were hiking into upper Silver lakes to catch some brook trout. Brady's been a good friend for many years.

Balloon ride

Another pic I took from my hot air balloon ride last year. Looking straight down from about 5,000'. Near Eloy Arizona...

Big rain coming here tonight thru Sat. We need it.

Apache junction, Az

A picture of A.J. Az. Hopefully next week after I get moved over to Apache junction, I'll be going out with the hiking club. My ankle is all healed up so should be good to go!!!

Soon

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!

Starting my count down to move to my new RV park in Apache junction, Az. I'll be glad to get away from this noisy street that I'm parked next to. 9 more days....

Dutch Star

My old Dutch Star motor home. I sure enjoyed traveling in it but am happy with the 5th wheel trailer now. Jeez, turn the news on and it's all powerball. Yes I have my tickets......

Saguaros

I must like saguaro cactus, I post enough pictures of them. This was from a hike a couple of years ago. I'm anxious to get back to my old RV park in December, they have a hiking club there that goes out every Wed. I need some fresh photos. Was 83 here in Mesa Az today, I stayed away from the Black Friday shopping areas.

Fremont peak

Snagged this pic off the Internet. It's sure a pretty pic. Of Fremont peak east of Pinedale Wy. Whomever took it was a very good photographer.

Supposed to hit 80 here today.

Some kind of cotton plants?

Don't know what this is. Some kind if a plant that has cotton looking stuff on it. Kind of looks like that material that comes off cottonwood trees??

Pretty painting

Took a pic of a painting at the Fountain Hills art show Sun. The camera doesn't give it justice. They had dime pretty stuff on display

Old cabin a cottonwood lake

An old cabin on Cottonwood lake ( near Wolf lake), 25 miles southeast of Pinedale Wy. For Arizona it was cool today, 61 deg. Same for tomorrow. Be "good sleepin" tonight...

Heard museum

Went to Heard museum in Phoenix the other day. It's mostly Indian culture. Pictured is a Hopi doll that the tribe members have crafted. Tour guide said Indians prefer to be called Indians and not Native Americans. I didn't know that....

Stuff

Amazing what some people can make with some sheet metal, tin and tin snips . Took this pic last year in Globe Az. At a "stuff" shop... Record high temps here for a couple more days . 90's in November???? Wow

Zion park

Another pic of Zion park. I'm off to
A Halloween dinner and show at our RV park this evening . 88 degrees here in Mesa Az. Today,,,,nice

Saguaros

They say it takes about 60 years for a saguaro to grow just one arm. Some of these have 10 or 12 arms or more. Fascinating

Kind of pretty

Lots of butterflies at the Az. State fair yesterday. Still low 80's here.

Patrol vehicle

My Ford Excursion that I drive in the summer for the Sheriffs office. Jeez, I've neglected my blog recently. I'll have to get out and get some fresh pics.....

Getting ready to roll again

I'll get the trailer ready to head to Az. Tomorrow. Heading south dark-0-thirty Sunday morning. Win and BB Farnsworth are arriving at our RV park today. Weather is low 90's next week. Just right!!!!!

When the Navy Seals aren't quite enough

Somebody sent me this in an e-mail the other day......:)

Saguaro hugger

Hey, some people hug trees, I hug saguaros. Guess I'm a "stickler"

Arizona sunrise....

Never get tired of Az sunrises and sunsets. Not sure I ever posted this one?

Had fun with the Sutherlands a d Schmidts last evening in Mesquite Nv. Really good seafood buffet at Eureka casino. Everyone won a few bucks except me. Again I contributed to their building fund

Arizona Cardinals

Wow, glad I kept the hat. These guys are 4-0 this year....

Curious

Saw this antelope this past summer on little Flat Top mountain. Amazing how
Many of them hang in the timber. Off to a relaxing day of football.....

Saguaro lake marina

Saguaro lake is about 10 miles n.e. of Mesa Az. They have a great restaurant there with a super view. I'll certainly be doing that again

Chimney butte near Boulder Wy.

My old elk hunting area. I kinda miss that. Maybe next year

Apache Junction Az

Love those superstition mountains east of AJ. Very soon!!

Downtown Phoenix

One month from today I'll be arriving at my winter digs. The pic is of downtown Phoenix taken from South Mountain. I'll leave Thur. for St George Ut. for about 3 weeks then on to Mesa Az. Perhaps less smoke in the air down there to breathe!!

Almost done

Only one more load of firewood after today. The fun is almost gone. Starting my pre-launch launch checklist for 1st leg of winter journey. 12 days to Hurricane Ut . Will be good to see Bib&Tib Sutherland and the Schmidts. Then late Oct. for Mesa Az

Florida

I kind of want to go back to Florida again sometime. Soooo much traffic though. Maybe I'll find a co-pilot down the road somewhere, helps to have a copilot RVing.

Wrong again

That's not a nuclear reactor in Florida, it's Disneyland near Orlando. Jeez!!

Nuclear reactor.

Don't ask me how the picture of the nuclear reactor got posted on the last pics. It's a picture I took in Florida in 2006. ????????

Superstition mountains

Not one of my pics but a pretty one of the Superstition mountains east of Phoenix Az. I'll be rolling in there next month.

Fall colors

Took this pic a couple years ago on Chimney butte near Boulder Wy. Won't be long and it will be golden again.

My summer job has ended so am trying to stay busy.

Willow Wind RV park

Usually spend a month in Hurricane Ut at Willow wind rv park in the fall and a month or so in the spring. If God is willing I'll be there 3 weeks from tomorrow.

A very young copper

Someone at the Sheriffs office posted some old pictures on a wall. I would guess this one was taken in 1988???

Pulled my last shift of Forest Patrol today. Ahhhh winter-Southern Utah and Arizona.....here I come..... Well after the wood is hauled!!!!

Fog

Thick fog west of Pinedale this morning, thought this pic would show it better.

Sunrise on the Superstitions

Took this a couple years back on one of my hikes in the Superstitions just east of Apache junction Az. Supposed to be some hidden gold there somewhere.

29

It's that time of year again. I'm only a month away from heading south. Love it in Wyoming but I've grown out of wintering here....

Willow creek Guard station

Oh that road behind New fork lake is rough getting in to willow creek Guard station. note to self. Next time get a key from the owner and go in the easy way.....

Kelly park

Nice area to walk and do uphill runs. Really nice now that the biting bugs are gone......

Off the coast of Washington

Went with a charter boat off the coast of Washington a few years back. Caught a bunch of sea bass that day.

Sure getting tired if the smoke in the area. Probably not going away anytime soon either. Sinus's need a break!!!

Hope I get it together right

Cleaning the ole "Stihl" chainsaw. Bout ready to go to the tall timber!!

1999

Sept. 1999. At the base of Fremont peak. Made it up to the too and out. Super tired after that

Superstition mountains

Kind of a smokey day a couple of years ago when I took this pic of the Superstition mountains and a saguaro cactus. Be there in 64 days..... but who's counting.....speaking of smoke... I've never seen it as bad as it has been the last 19 days or so. Hopefully we'll soon see a clear morning

That's Fremont lake.......jeez my iPhone won't spell today

Fremint lake sunset

I posted this on Facebook a while back. Kind of a pretty sunset just south if Fremont lake.
