There's a reason why 'Snowbirds' go to Arizona....
.....It's always sunny!!
 |
| Yeah..right! |
 |
| 5 Lbs of gooey muck on each foot |
 |
| Rain, hail and snow coming in |
 |
| Refuge in a cave...well, at least until the sun comes out! |
 |
| Looking better in the morning! |
 |
| Except it's c-c-cold now!....Frost inside and outside of the tent |
 |
| An old logging railway bed.... Might be OK for railways.... .....downright crappy for walking! |
 |
| And really crappy for this guy - He's cycling the whole trail - 24/7 ....Stopping only to catnap! |
 |
| Hats off to these guys.... The Arizona Trail Association.... Maintaining and repairing the trail on the Mogollon plateau |
 |
| And this is their vehicle....Kindly donated by the local Toyota dealers |
 |
| A well worthwhile detour to Mormon Lake for a burger and beer... There was a Hot Rod show in town! |
COACHES CORNER:
Woke to wet, crappy weather
.....Snowing!
 |
| So bad we went back to bed.... (It was better a couple of hours later so we headed out then) |
 |
| Hiking in with Darrell ....Fetching water a typical 'tank' |
 |
| It might have been cool It might have been refreshing.... But it certainly wasn't clear!! |
 |
| Nice hiking...but these trail markers can be hard to find at times! |
 |
| Obviously heading south ...Cactus plants!! |
 |
| Including the large prickly pear |
 |
| The fruit is yummy.....but watch how you eat it! Do it wrong and you'll have a mouthful of tiny needle for a few days! (Been there...done that!!......not pleasant!) |
 |
| My next project.....I'm going to restore this puppy!! (......NOT!.....) |
 |
| Winter is coming! ....Snow in the San Fransisco Mountains 11,550' |
 |
| A more typical pass time... Daytime... |
 |
| And evenings! |
 |
| Take 33.........CUT! Take 34.......CUT!! ...............Take 35........PRINT IT! |
On location at the Bradshaw Tank

 |

Cheers!
