Late August in the Cliff creek area 50 miles north of Pinedale Wy. We're in a warming spell in central Az. supposed to hit the low 70's this weekend, we'll take it!!

A land full of culture (cultured buttermilk?)

It's sure good to be here in Arizona where the culture is so diverse. I've learned so darned much about life, it's great!!!!

Some of the local peaks around Pinedale Wy. Not sure if I took this pic. or if I snagged it off the internet somewhere. Survived 3 hours of dental surgery yesterday, ah, yes, my last visit!!

Wood haulers

Son Tim and daughter in law Myndi stacking wood last September. Sounds like they're using plenty of it this winter. Warming up to the 60's here, off to the dentist this afternoon for a lovely 2 hour session to install 2 new crowns...

Dry wash

A dry wash north of Apache junction. Pretty country up there. Warming up down here in Central Arizona. I'm ready for some "80's".

"The Tent"

"Mike", the park photographer photographs me (go figure) as I photograph him. This was at our Christmas dinner under a huge tent erected to keep the winter chill off. They put big propane heaters under the tent and it really makes it comfortable. Now let me see??? Would I rather be here, or in Wyoming where it's well below zero.....wow, that's a head scratcher.
