Perfect Sunday Stroll

I took the dogs for a walk over at Starkey this morning, the weather could not be better today.  The mutts had such an exciting time they were more riled up for a while after the walk than before it – talk about a back fire. But they are mellowed out now, yay 5 minutes of peace!

For the first time in memory we were able to get over the little walking bridge, lately it’s always washed sideways.  That gave us two options, the road or the bridge. I chose neither since the dogs have to walk in tandem, but they headed over the bridge without a problem. Yes, the picture on the right is the road!

ChoicesThe mutts were happy because we passed about 10 other dogs and a couple of horses.  Not to mention the fact that we heard something big right off the path in the bushes (maybe a squirrel, maybe a mountain lion, who can say?).  If that wasn’t enough while we were walking on the narrow path back a bird ran right under their noses from one side of the path to the other flapping it’s wings and squawking like crazy.  I’m pretty certain the dogs thought it was the BEST walk ever.

I had fun too, if they care.  Florida can definitely have a zen like beauty!

Looking for adventure and great photos!

I had planned to go to Bisti Wilderness after Taos I had planned to go to Bisti Wilderness after Taos several months ago but had to cancel after my little hiking accident.  But I finally made it!  I'm really excited to explore the area. Day 1 was a five mile walk through amazing formations. Lots of petrified wood - I wasn't expecting that!

Hiked up Golden Canyon first thing this morning. Hiked up Golden Canyon first thing this morning.  This is why a month in each place isn't too long. After work random hikes close to home and go straight to one of the busy hikes weekend mornings.  You pass the crowds coming in as you're leaving. And in this case, beat the heat.

Death Valley keeps showing new shockingly beautiful places. I'm already planning to come back.

It's wild how many springs are in what looks like It's wild how many springs are in what looks like a desolate, dry landscape. No swimming allowed but it's very tempting!

You do have to drive down a long and dusty road to get to this one. You can no longer guess my car's actual color...

Death Valley is blooming! Two weeks ago there were Death Valley is blooming! Two weeks ago there were flowers here and there. This time there's tons! I read it's the beginning of a superbloom. I may have to make the drive to come back in a few weeks. I won'tbe this close, but I'm thinking it would be worth the drive!

Nova and I visited the Devil's Golf Course today i Nova and I visited the Devil's Golf Course today in Death Valley.  If you're a people , you can walk out through the rocks as far as you'd like. If you're a dog you can go anywhere a car can go, so you can see stuff, but not walk on any trails or out into the field. Either way it's a cool place to visit down a VERY bumpy road.

Visited Ash Meadows in Nevada today. It's really Visited Ash Meadows in Nevada today.  It's really cool. It's a ways down a VERY dusty and bumpy road though.

 There were all kinds of animal prints in the salt and mineral buildup. I'm a bit of a nerd , so I had great fun trying to figure out what kind of animals had passed by.

My photo doesn't really show it , but that pool of water in the desert was as clear and blue as the springs in Florida.

If you come out to see Death Valley and you have the time definitely stop here, too! Nova approved.
I finally went to Slide Rock. Way too cold to slid I finally went to Slide Rock. Way too cold to slide , but it is a beautiful place.

Just another of the million things to see and do i Just another of the million things to see and do in central Arizona. There Is so much history here that you can still see. An 110 room, 1000 year old pueblo that you can walk around and even into one of the rooms. It's such a privilege and one more example of why it is so important that we keep these places as they are. 

 They even let you bring your leashed pups!
