March 14

Today tackled part of the  7 mile
Pass Mountain Trail ... got to the Scenic Outlook
and then decided we should probably head back. 
It was breathtaking! 

Also found some of the wild horses
living not too far north of  our hike

Finding some sunshine to sit in
before heading to friend's for supper

March 13 ... Wind Cave Tunnel Hike, etc





Today was such a fantastic day!  Hiked the Wind Cave Tunnel trail in the
Usery Mountain Park.  App told me 51 flight of stairs!  The temps were perfect,
it was mighty breezy but so comfortable.  I think I could find a new trail to hike
down here every day for a month and not repeat or get bored!

March 12 ...Hiking etc

Hiked partway up Camelback Mountain this morning ...
but were chased back down by thundershowers looming
all around . Pretty sure Conrad was eyeing up the golf course
below us and wishing he was down there instead :)

Got to grab a little yoga where you can :)

Wish we'd been able to stay longer and keep going. 
This was very exhilarating!
My health app told me that I'd climbed 45 flights of stairs when we were done!

Sunrise in Apache Junction

I chose to stay home and relax
while the rest of the people went golfing :)

March 8

After 3 days of traveling, it was a pretty slow pace
for us with our friends today.  Conrad was helping
Harry replace a kitchen light, and the only picture I took all day!

March 7

The terrain changed so fast today
So much colored rock and
so many trains through the mountains



And then we seemed to hit the desert
way up on the mountain range
And ... lots and lots more snow in the
Coconino National Forest on the way down
to Mesa

March 6 ... and the journey continues (Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico today)


So many abandoned farmyards ...
it was quite sad


Woo hoo!!  Getting closer!

New Mexico was so much more scenic :)

Heading south down I-29 today ...

And it was flowing!
