An Off-Leash Adventure

Posted in Family, and Outdoor Adventures

On Saturday afternoon, we headed out to do a little off-roading after Daddy did a little check in on some work matters. We hadn’t been out since the big rain, so it was fun to see the differences brought about by the storm. In the desert, rain means a transformation of the terrain due to flash flooding which redeposits the sandy soil, rocks, and vegetation all over the places. No matter how good they try to make the drainage near the paved roads, there is always some pretty solid destruction and places where the road is at least partially destroyed. Obviously, the dirt roads are even…

The Grasshopper Hunter

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

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

Posted in Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

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…
