Kuma heads to Greer, Arizona

Kuma by Little Colorado River

I don’t like storms much, but mom and dad were sure glad when the monsoons finally arrived the other day. We got an inch of rain! The next day, we loaded up the camper and headed toward Greer, Arizona. We traveled once to Big Lake, and I remember it taking forever to get there, so […]

Kuma enjoys Granite Basin Lake

Granite Basin Lake

Can it get any hotter? Mom says it was 130 degrees at Death Valley the other day. Well, duh! Death by heat! No thanks. We’ve been struggling to find places that are cooler this summer, and we decided to give Prescott a try this past weekend. We got up when it was still dark – […]

Lady Moon Trail Near Red Feather Lakes in Colorado

Lady Moon trail

I know I have said it before, but it is one hot summer! In Phoenix, we’ve had 34 days and counting when the temperature is above 110. That’s just too much for this Colorado dog! I guess that is why I keep reminiscing of days gone by and remembered the Lady Moon Trail near Red […]

Q&A with Kuma

Kuma with fall color

I don’t know about you, but me and my family didn’t do much this weekend. The temperatures are high and the humidity up – even in the north county. There doesn’t seem to be a place to escape the hot season right now, and we keep waiting for the monsoons to start with no luck. […]

Young’s Gulch Trail Reopens in Colorado

Time to kiss mom

Oh rain, where art thou? This is supposed to be our monsoons (rainy season), but we keep getting humidity without the reward. Sigh. About this time of year, I do miss the water in Colorado: lakes, rivers and streams abound. When it is too hot to do much, I find myself dreaming about adventures gone […]

Boondocking Near Marshall Lake in Flagstaff

Kuma explores Marshall Lake

  What a weird year this has been! Between COVID-19 closures and my dad’s truck needing repairs, we haven’t gone camping yet – and it is mid-July! Crazy but that all changed this weekend. Dad’s truck is fixed, and he hooked up the camper so we could head north to cool off. Mom’s goal was […]

A Marathon of a Story

Kuma loves Boyd Lake

             Okay, it is officially HOT! We broke all kinds of records this past weekend in Phoenix: hottest temp for the day, hottest low, and multiple days in a row over 110…and it is only July! I don’t know about you, but I was a total slug this weekend. I didn’t move unless I had […]

Kuma goes Backpacking on the Dunraven Trail in Colorado

Kuma goes camping

When mom got a very small duffle bag out, I wasn’t sure what it meant. I know what a big suitcase means – mom and dad are going someplace on an airplane without me. I know what the camper trailer means – a great adventure for me! I was confused until mom used the word […]

Kuma’s neighborhood has a fire!

Scary smoke from neighborhood fire

Let me start off by first saying: we are safe! Now, let me tell you the story of the day our neighborhood was on fire. It was last Tuesday, and we started the day off with an early-morning hike. My brother and I were lounging around; life was good and normal until… Mom was coming […]

Kuma hikes the Woods Canyon Lake loop trail

Kuma hikes around Woods Canyon Lake

Have I told you lately that I just love my life? I’m one lucky pup! My folks are always looking for places to take me in the summer to escape the heat. We took my car (okay, it’s really my mom’s, but she calls it the Kuma Kar so it must be true!) instead of […]
