The Grasshopper Hunter

Posted in Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

When we headed up to Williams for the week, we stayed at the Railside RV Park. Upon arrival, I headed inside to check us in, and Munchkin took the dogs for a little walk/bathroom break. Little did we know that we were in for an unexpected surprise…. After checking us in, I went to get Munchkin only to find her looking a little flustered and covered in dirt. Apparently, the dogs gave her a bit of a tug, and she ended up doing a face plant and slide. Thankfully, she was in the grass when this happened, so she was…

Grand Canyon – Ooh Aah Point

Posted in Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

When I looked down from the top of the South Kaibab Trailhead into the canyon, I saw the dusty trail ahead. Obviously, when you hike down into the canyon, you eventually have to hike back up. I was not looking forward to that hike back up. Nope, not in any way, shape, or form. I knew that it was not going to be easy. So, I chose not to think about that and just enjoy the views on the way down. Denial – it can be a beautiful thing – at least for a little while. **grin** We took our…

Grand Canyon: South Kaibab Trailhead

We originally thought that we were going to be heading to Yosemite National Park for our Memorial Day vacation, but it turns out that unless you get in reservations early – really early – that you’re not getting a camping spot. At least, you’re not getting a spot that will work for a 5th wheel trailer. Since we take the dogs with us and they’re not allowed on most trails, they need to be able to stay in the trailer. Tent camping wasn’t an option this trip. Anywho… we decided to head on up to the Williams, Az instead. We…

Exploring Williams, Az – Day Two

I didn’t realize that I would end up being MIA from my blog for nearly a week. I planned on blogging through our camping vacation in Williams, but the internet decided not to cooperate. lol! That means that I’m playing a bit of catch up this week with my posts.. On our second full day in Williams, Daddy decided that he wanted to head back out and hit some trails. Our destination this time was White Horse Lake. We spent part of the time on paved roads to get to the trails leading back to the lake. Munchkin and I…

Exploring Williams, Az – Day One

Posted in Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

We decided that we needed to take a little break from our normal routine, so a camping trip was planned. We needed to head away from our immediate area as it was just too hot to be camping here – especially dry camping which is our norm for our area. Originally, we were just going to head out for the Memorial Day long weekend, but we were unable to get into a campground. Our plans changed… Since D had a new-to-him dual sport KTM, he wanted to be able to test it out. We decided that we’d head up to…
