Arizona 2024
Good night sleep for the price of a dozen eggs! Earlier wakeup than we like, and it was raining a bit. I got ready and headed out with my windbreaker on towards the paths along the irrigation ditches. About 450m in, the light drizzle became a heavier rain so I turned around as I was…
Sleep good. Early rise. Shortish walk at 3.6 km as we had a schedule and I only had 30 minutes or so. I did see a coyote (4 legged kind) in the wash/canal/drainage ditch (whichever you choose to call it). I attempted to grab a picture but fortunately he did not like me and took…
Boom! Good enough night sleep. Walk was in the city shoes around the familiar safe roads / pathways of the area. No pictures taken. After breakfast we forced Mrs Milddogs to enjoy the pool while Amy and I headed over in the van to the local Fry’s supermarket. I fired up the generator and turned…
Quartzite has been good to us. At the time of year we have gone we love the wide open spaces and lack of other people (for the most part) doing stupid things (for the most part). Maybe when it is free you drop your standards a bit. To meet our goals today we had to…
Sleep comes to those that sleep. And sleep I did. No strange dreams about operatic infants. No coyotes howling outside the van (although that would be a little bit cool, but maybe not right outside the van). Beautiful warm morning. I took a walk east on the “road” for about 2.5 km then turned around…
Relatively good sleep. You can hear the highway from here. That is good news in a way as it indicates it was not super windy nor raining. Was awake for a bit in the night thinking about some disrupted lives back home and missing the kids (adults) and stuff. Had a bizarre dream that included…
If I were to ask you, what is the least probable thing that could have happened last night? You might guess many things, but you would never guess a healthy dose of rain for the third night in a row, would you? The upside is that the green bits are green and that it happened…
Happy sleeps. We got some more rain overnight but not enough to re-muddy the trails. I set out a tad late for the morning walk. Goal was to head up the Siphon Draw trail and see how far I could get. The main part of the trail is 0.75km from our campsite. After that it…
Be careful what you wish for. We had a decent rain last night. Soothing as it cooled things off. Expect, it went a little too far! Started the morning walk late as it was still raining on and off. The trails were muddy so I chose to not attempt any of the “good ones” and…
Mrs Brad had Brad quiet and in bed at a reasonable time. Thanks, Mrs Brad! Wee bit of a late start for me this morning given the lack of sleep. Perhaps related to the sunburn induced hot flashes I experienced throughout the night. At around 0200 I woke up thinking I might turn on the…
